More Than Allies

Resumen del Libro

Libro More Than Allies

Maggie came to scenic little Lupine, Oregon, to live as a foster child in the Jarrett home. Thirteen years later, she’s a legitimate member of the family, living in the back yard cottage with two children. Her husband, Mo, has moved on to Texas in search of opportunity. He wants Maggie and their children to follow, but she is mired in indecision. Her baby’s a handful and her 9-year-old son, Jay-Jay, is in such trouble at school they want to put him in the “anger group.” She seeks comfort and advice from her friends, but her problems and theirs don’t seem to be occurring in the same universe. Even Polly, then foster-mother, now mother-in-law, seems to be slipping away. She’s talking about taking in an infant with special needs. Where does that leave Maggie and her kids? Nearby, Dulce Quirarte lives a separate life, the last person with whom Maggie would think she has anything in common. Dulce cleans houses, makes beds in a motel, and dreams. Cut off in all ways from her family and her culture, she gives in to the magic of Spanish only in her sleep. Her real life is a matter of survival. Her son Gus—a classmate of Jay’s—is fast becoming a complicated person all his own. He wants to know why he’s a Mexican who doesn’t speak Spanish and never sees any family but his mother. Besides, his father Gustavo has been paroled to his parents’ dairy farm in Texas, and he wants a family, or at least his son. Querida, he writes: I ask you with humility and love, be open. Doesn’t he know how closed she’s had to be to live an independent life? But then, isn’t her most vivid dream of him? As spring unfolds into summer, marriage, motherhood, and friendship are all reconsidered. Below the surface of a quaint, hip town, real lives are led, and two women transcend the boundaries of class and culture to forge an alliance that will enrich both their lives.

Ivanhoe

Libro Ivanhoe

En aquel hermoso cantón de la dichosa Inglaterra bañado por las cristalinas aguas del río Don se extendía antiguamente una inmensa floresta que ocultaba la mayor parte de los valles y montañas que se encuentran entre Sheffield y la encantadora ciudad de Doncaster. Aún existen considerables restos de aquel bosque en las magníficas posesiones de Wentwort, Warncliffe-Park y en las cercanías de Rotherdham. Este fue, según la tradición, el Teatro de los estragos ejecutados por el fabuloso dragón de Wantley; allí se dieron algunas batallas libradas en las guerras civiles, cuando peleó...

El silencio entre nosotros

Libro El silencio entre nosotros

Una historia de amor singular de dos jóvenes provenientes de Europa en una ciudad como Lima llena de tantos cambios. Richard llega al Perú desde Londres en 1934; Silvana lo hace diez años más tarde desde Padua, escapando de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ambos, además del origen europeo, comparten una singularidad: una sordera que les impide percibir los sonidos que los rodean. Sin embargo, desde el silencio, en un país que les resulta tan generoso como insólito, lograrán encontrarse. El silencio entre nosotros, la primera novela de Ricardo Chadwick, es la narración conmovedora de un...

Libro Libélula

Este libro es una sorprendente serie de microrrelatos de la escritora y pintora Araceli Adriana Contreras. Los temas que aborda son los que a todos nos abordan: el amor, la amistad, la muerte, la familia, la infidelidad. Todo eso en una atmósfera por momentos con humor, con ironía; a veces desde la profundidad a la que nos empuja el dolor, siempre con la simplicidad de la genuina comunicación.
