"Segunda novela de “Crónicas de los Deverill”. Santa Montefiore, la reina del romance épico, une de manera magistral la convulsa historia de Irlanda a lo largo de varios siglos con una trama familiar y romántica que atrapa desde las primeras páginas. El tono recuerda mucho a la serie Downton Abby (tramas románticas, conflicto entre irlandeses e ingleses, y cómo afecta la Primera Guerra Mundial a la caída del tipo de vida de la aristocracia…). Otros referentes podrían ser Diana Gabaldon o Florencia Bonelli. En 1925 la guerra y los disturbios de Irlanda han quedado por fin atrás, pero entretanto se han perdido muchas cosas y la vida nunca volverá a ser la misma para Kitty, Bridie y Celia. El castillo de Deverill, que durante siglos ha sido el hogar de los Deverill en el suroeste de Irlanda, ha ardido hasta los cimientos. Pero la joven y caprichosa Celia Deverill sorprende a todo el mundo al comprar las tierras con la intención reconstruir el castillo y devolverle su antiguo esplendor. Sin embargo, la crisis financiera de 1929 está a punto de hacer estragos en los lugares más insospechados. Todo lo que parecía seguro vuelve a estar en entredicho, y Celia se enfrenta a la tragedia, a la pérdida de sus seres queridos y a la traición."

Opiniones editoriales:Opinión:"A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish.” — Time “A Gothic tour de force. . . . A tight, deftly controlled story . . . . Just as accomplished [as The Remains of the Day] and, in a very different way, just as melancholy and alarming.” — The New York Times "Elegaic, deceptively lovely. . . . As always, Ishiguro pulls you under." — Newsweek “Superbly unsettling, impeccably controlled . . . . The book’s irresistible power comes from Ishiguro’s matchless ability to expose its dark heart in careful increments.” — Entertainment WeeklyFrom the Inside FlapFrom the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is. Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

Dune Messiah continues the story of Paul Atreides, better known—and feared—as the man christened Muad’Dib. As Emperor of the known universe, he possesses more power than a single man was ever meant to wield. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne—and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence. And even as House Atreides begins to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family’s dynasty...
