Un corazón demasiado grande / by Rodríguez, Eider,author.(CARDINAL)496732;
Una mujer acepta la incómoda tarea de cuidar a su exmarido enfermo a pesar de llevar veinte años separados. Una familia marcada por las secuelas físicas de un terrible incendio celebra el cumpleaños de su hija. Una mujer conserva en un bote el mioma extirpado de su útero y otra no reconoce sus propias manos. También hay historias políticas donde sus protagonistas arrastran heridas del violento pasado del País Vasco y relatos familiares sobre mujeres desapegadas de sus hijos, de sus madres o de sus propias vidas; cuentos que ponen en entredicho la solidaridad o en los que importan más los animales que las personas.

All that followed : a novel / by Urza, Gabriel,author.(CARDINAL)409783;
"It's 2004 in Muriga, a quiet town in Spain's northern Basque Country, a place with more secrets than inhabitants. Five years have passed since the kidnapping and murder of a young local politician--a family man and father--and the town's rhythms have almost returned to normal. But in the aftermath of the Atocha train bombings in Madrid, an act of terrorism that rocked a nation and a world, the townspeople want a reckoning of Muriga's own troubled past: Everyone knows who pulled the trigger five years ago, but is the young man now behind bars the only one to blame? All That Followed peels away the layers of a crime complicated by history, love, and betrayal. The accounts of three townspeople in particular--the councilman's beautiful young widow, the teenage radical now in jail for the crime, and an aging American teacher hiding a traumatic past of his own--hold the key to what really happened. And for these three, it's finally time to confront what they can find of the truth. Inspired by a true story, All That Followed is a powerful, multifaceted novel about a nefarious kind of violence that can take hold when we least expect. Urgent, elegant, and gorgeously atmospheric, Urza's debut is a book for the world we live in now, and it marks the arrival of a brilliant new writer to watch"-- Provided by publisher.

A good life / by Grimaldi, Virginie,1977-author.; Serle, Hildegarde,translator.(CARDINAL)794698;
"Emma and Agathe are sisters. They were thick as thieves when they were young but have always been as different as can be. Agathe, the younger sister, is disorderly, chaotic, and fiery. Five years older, Emma has always been the more mature sister, the defender, the protector, the worrier. Their relationship as adults is scarred by a tragedy that transformed their happy, ordinary childhoods into something much more complex and challenging. For a long time, Emma hasn't wanted to be involved in Agathe's life. But then they must return together to the Basque Country, to the house of their adored grandmother, to empty out her home and in the process to reconcile, to remember, and to pour out what is in their hearts. The story alternates between Agathe and Emma's childhood and their present day, with everything in between, and readers see them as young girls, teenagers, young women, mothers, wives, partners, individuals, sisters. This is a story that encompasses whole lives, complex lives, women's lives, asking all the while how the scars of the past can be healed and what, in the end, is a good life."--

Material de construcción / by Rodríguez, Eider,author,translator.(CARDINAL)496732; Garro, Lander,1975-translator.(CARDINAL)884144;
"En esta novela hay veranos, cigarrillos, piscinas, hospitales, caballos, azulejos, cemento, arena, cartas, plantas, fuego, vacaciones, amores, mentiras, verdades, vergüenzas... y también alcohol, que lo impregna todo, estropeándolo y deformándolo. Porque el padre es alcohólico. Y ella, la hija de un alcohólico. Pero ¿qué más hay detrás de ese hombre que vendía materiales de construcción y fabricaba muebles reciclando palés? A pesar de haber vivido en la misma casa durante muchos años, padre e hija apenas tienen trato. No se hablan ni se tocan, pero las miradas, los olores y los sonidos les sirven de vínculo. Y el silencio, eso que no se quiere y no se puede decir, es más un campo de batalla que una fortaleza" --
