Blood Ties
Once upon a time, there was a woman the press called the Hyena-Woman. Infant Annihilator. Witch. Child-Chopper. Butcher of Little Angels. Monster. The Ogress of Colonia Roma. Julián and I called her Mother. When the writer Ignacio Suárez is sent photographs of two murdered women, mirroring a passage of his very own detective novel, he drops everything to uncover who is responsible. What no-one suspects is that the origin of these crimes lies in the forgotten, real-life story of Felícitas Sánchez, the midwife turned child-killer who became known in the 1940s as "The Ogress of Colonia Roma". Diary entries and newspaper articles come together in this gripping tale to reveal how the woman called Felícitas, who grew up in a small community in La Huasteca, Mexico, became the infamous child trafficker and murderer in the country's capital, and how her long-ago crimes are linked to a wave of killings. Verónica E. Llaca evokes a tale of cursed bloodlines, forcing us to question the origin and inheritance of evil and how far we can truly escape our past.
Herança macabra
QUANDO A MALDADE PERCORRE AS VEIAS, O SANGUE DOS INOCENTES ESCORRE PELAS MÃOS Na fúnebre atmosfera do México dos anos 1940, as ruas de uma cidade tornaram-se palco dos atos macabros de Felícitas Sánchez Aguillón.

Décadas mais tarde, Ignacio Suárez, um escritor da era contemporânea, tropeça em um legado de brutalidade que se recusa a permanecer enterrado. Fotografias enigmáticas de mulheres mortas chegam às suas mãos, traz...
La herencia
Cuando Ignacio Suárez, el famoso novelista, recibe fotos con varias escenas del crimen que reproducen pasajes de sus libros, inicia una carrera contrarreloj para descubrir al responsable antes de que ataque de nuevo. Lo que nadie espera es que, conforme avance la investigación, los impredecibles lazos que estas muertes guardan con una asesina serial de los años cuarenta sacarán a la luz la historia olvidada de Felícitas Sánchez, quien fuera bautizada por los periódicos de la época como la Ogresa de la colonia Roma, una partera que, entre otras atrocidades, fue acusada de desmembrar niños y tirarlos por el drenaje de su casa. Los fragmentos de un diario, que podría ser también una ...

No Place to Call Home
A tale of love, loss, identity, and belonging, No Place to Call Home tells the story of a family who fled to the United Kingdom from their native Congo to escape the political violence under the dictator, Le Maréchal. The young son Jean starts at a new school and struggles to fit in. An unlikely friendship gets him into a string of sticky situations, eventually leading to a suspension. At home, his parents pressure him to focus on school and get his act together, to behave more like his star-student little sister. As the family tries to integrate in and navigate modern British society while holding on to their roots and culture, they meet Tonton, a womanizer who loves alcohol and parties. Much to Jean's father's dismay, after losing his job, Tonton moves in with them. He introduces the family—via his church where colorful characters congregate—to a familiar community of fellow country-people, making them feel slightly less alone. The family begins to settle, but their current situation unravels and a threat to their future appears, while the fear of uncertainty remains.
Kitchen Curse
Nominated for the Man Booker International, Eka Kurniawan brings his short stories into English for the first time Eka Kurniawan’s freewheeling imagination explores the turbulent dreams of an ex-prostitute, the hapless life of a perpetual student, victims of an anticommunist genocide, the travails of an elephant, even the vengeful fantasies of a stone. Dark, sexual, scatological, violent, and mordantly funny, these fractured fables span city and country, animal and human, myth and politics. Like nothing else, Kurniawan’s stories bury themselves in the mind. His characters and insights are at once hauntingly familiar, peculiar, and twisted.
