Otoño. Temporada de nieblas. Daniel tiene un siglo de edad. Elisabeth, nacida en 1984, tiene sus ojos puestos en el futuro. El Reino Unido está hecho pedazos, dividido por un verano histórico, único en una generación. El amor se gana, el amor se pierde. La esperanza va de la mano con la desesperanza. Las estaciones siguen su camino, como siempre. La nueva novela de Ali Smith es una meditación sobre un mundo cada vez más limitado y exclusivo, sobre la riqueza y el valor, sobre lo que significa la cosecha. Es la primera entrega de su cuarteto estacional: cuatro libros independientes, separados pero interconectados y cíclicos (como son las estaciones); y nos hace reflexionar sobre el propio tiempo. ¿Quiénes somos? ¿De qué estamos hechos? Esta es una novela sobre el envejecimiento y el tiempo y el amor y las historias mismas.

A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family--and a new love--changes the course of her life. As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don't mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she's used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos pretending to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously. But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and...Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he's concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat. As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn't know she was looking for....

«Hijo, has tenido que aprender demasiado pronto que la belleza no tiene compasión.» La palabra fauces suele usarse en plural para referirse al hocico de las fieras, desde el paladar hasta el cuello. Pero si le quitamos la letra final, su sentido se enrarece y, por asociación, surge un solo borde afilado e incapaz de tragar. Más o menos así se siente el duelo de la mujer que habla en este libro, atrapada en un umbral lejos del mundo. La anécdota puede ocurrir cualquier dí un hombre menor de cuarenta años decide acabar con su vida sin previo aviso ni nota de despedida. Tras su muerte queda un silencio aterrador que consume cualquier ensayo de explicación como si fuera una bestia hambrienta. En este caso, queda también un hijo de siete años, al que su mamá necesita contarle lo que pasó. Entre la elegía, la carta de amor, el diario de duelo y la bitácora de crianza, Tania Tagle se hunde en el lenguaje para hablarle de la muerte a un niño, pero también de la vida. De la alegría como forma de resistencia y del futuro como territorio inapropiable. El resultado es este libro amuleto, libro canción de cuna, libro despedida.

Eva es autora y editora de guías de viaje para gente tan urbana y feliz como ella. Casada desde hace años con Franklin, un fotógrafo de publicidad, decide, con muchas dudas, cerca de los cuarenta años, tener un hijo. Y el producto de tan indecisa decisión será Kevin. Pero casi desde el comienzo, nada se parece a los mitos familiares de la clase media urbana y feliz.

Se convertirá en el terror de las niñeras, en un adolescente terrible, en el antihéroe a quien sólo le interesa la belleza de la maldad.
