Having left her job and boyfriend, thirty-year-old Sandra decides to stay in a village on the Costa Blanca in order to take stock of her life and find a new direction. She befriends Karin and Fredrik, an elderly Norwegian couple, who provide her with stimulating company and take the place of the grandparents she never had. However, when she meets Julian, a former concentration-camp inmate who has just returned to Europe from Argentina, she discovers that all is not what it seems and finds herself involved in a perilous quest for the truth. As well as being a powerful account of self-discovery and an exploration of history and redemption, /The Scent of Lemon Leaves/ is a sophisticated and nail-biting page-turner by one of Spain's most accomplished authors.

Entre dans ma vie

Un secret a toujours hanté la famille de Veronica : brouillant sa mère Betty et ses grands-parents, la rendant nerveuse, distraite, fragile et surprotectrice malgré l'amour de son mari et l'aide sans faille de son amie Ana... Ce secret a un nom - Laura - et un visage pour Veronica depuis qu'à dix ans elle a trouvé, bien caché, le portrait d'une fille d'à peu près son âge dans la chambre de Betty. Mais le poids du secret, ou l'envie de se défier de ce mystère qui semble avoir tant fait souffrir sa mère - peut-être la jalousie, aussi - l'ont empêché de poser les questions nécessaires. Ce n'est que lorsque sa mère, fragilisée par ces années de combat intérieur, est hospitalisée, qu'elle force enfin son père à lui avouer qui est Laura. Et la révélation va changer sa vie. A partir d'un sujet d'actualité qui l'a beaucoup touchée, le scandale des bébés volés en Espagne, Clara Sanchez a bâti une histoire qui évite la plupart des clichés d'un thriller pour se concentrer sur l'évolution psychologique minutieuse de ses personnages.

La Torre de Cristal es uno de los grandes edificios de oficinas que pueblan cualquier ciudad. Allí la narradora se encuentra involucrada en las vidas de jefes y compañeros cuyas inquietudes, secretos y obsesiones tejen una atmósfera que la va absorbiendo poco a poco. Entre todos forman un mundo de supervivientes que tratan de adaptarse a una realidad cambiante y llena de gestos que no se sabe lo que esconden. Como si nos asomáramos a las ventanas del edificio, la envolvente estructura de Un millón de luces nos descubre las historias entrelazadas que componen la apasionante intriga de la novela y de la vida, impregnada de necesidad de amor, espejismos e incertidumbre. Clara Sánchez capta con ironía y ternura lo que los tiempos traen, el mundo en que vivimos, el ahora aparentemente banal. Y lo hace con la prosa sutil, enigmática y al mismo tiempo transparente y directa que la define.

Raft People 2: Floaters

The U.S. Navy conscripted Andrew Green before he ever got to join his family as they set out to become Raft People in order to survive the Big Flood. After the Big Flood, his old city of Houston lies under the new Sea of Mexico, but at least Andrew knows that his siblings, Liz and Mark, have been safely settled in Colorado. But Ensign Andrew Green is still far from Texas or Colorado as he patrols the Sea of Mexico over what used to be most of Florida. During this time, he works long hours to do his duty and retreats inside his head to relieve his loneliness and imagine a world that should have been. Then his group gets called to deliver supplies to the floating city of New Miami. Andrew meets a lovely young “floater” woman named Clara, but she's got secrets that can threaten Andrew's career and even his life. Andrew, recruited and promoted too young, feels like a kid in a sailor suit as the crew tries to beat the storm and rescue anybody they can. Still, he can't help thinking of Clara. But is this a good time to fall in love with a woman who may have almost ruined his career and even risked his life?
