Težka voda

V svetu, ki ga naseljujejo Ida, Marta, Tone in Lojze, na vrtovih gnijejo paradižniki, na nočnih omaricah ždijo nagačeni zajci, krave pa je treba slej kot prej ustreliti med oči. Nič čudnega, če na blatni zemlji komu usodno spodrsne ali pa mu glavo spešta kakšno drevo; Gospod vendarle daje in jemlje, povrh vsega pa še odpušča. V romanu Težka voda, svojstveni anatomiji krivde, ki prelamlja s tradicijo slovenske povesti, se drobci iz življenja starejše protagonistke Ide med posledicami zamolčane preteklosti in neizživete prihodnosti postopoma sestavljajo v okrušeno celoto. Ta v ekspresivnem, dovršenem slogu razkriva predvsem bridko resnico o prepletenosti življenj znotraj manjše vaške skupnosti, kjer se vse zdi na dlani, pa vendar skrivnost rojeva nove skrivnosti.

Als de dieren

In Als de dieren onderzoekt een vrouw wat haar is overkomen na de geboorte van haar eerste kind – een ervaring zo donker dat ze zich tegen taal en betekenis verzet. In het dierenrijk, in oude mythes, in foto’s, e-mails en zelfs boodschappenlijstjes uit haar kraamtijd, zoekt de vrouw naar houvast. Hoe word je, lang nadat je je kind op de wereld hebt gezet, alsnog moeder? En hoe verenig je opnieuw de brokstukken van een mens, nadat die uit elkaar is gevallen?

Brooklyn-Barakaldo

¿Guardar silencio y ser cómplice? ¿O acudir a la justicia y temer venganza? Mateo vuelve a la casa familiar en Madrid después de haber sido despedido del estudio de arquitectura en el que trabajaba en Barcelona. Cuando por azar encuentra una pistola entre las pertenencias de Juan, su padre, sospecha que este tuvo relación con un atentado de ETA ocurrido hace veinte años en el barrio. En paralelo, el lector conocerá la historia de Malen, que, en el 2000, planificó el asesinato de un juez en el mismo barrio de Juan y Mateo, pero cuya ejecución tuvo un desenlace inesperado. La investigación de Mateo por conocer la verdad le llevará a desentrañar secretos ocultos que podrían desmontar sin remedio los pilares de su vida y de las personas que quiere. Basándose en un atentado real de hace veinticinco años en Madrid, Antonio Lleras reflexiona en su primera y emocionante novela sobre la redención y la posibilidad de cambiar de vida. Y sobre cómo décadas después del fin de ETA víctimas y verdugos tratan de reconstruir sus vidas tras un pasado común de violencia y venganza.

Wyrok

Two scoundrels were ordered to execute a snitch. Wandering through the mountains and villages, they are hunted by their past. A dreamlike parable set in a brutal world with characters grasped by their own fear.

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.
