Abstract

On a midsummer's night Paula lies awake, Mike, her husband of twenty-five years asleep beside her, her two teenage children, Nick and Kate, sleeping in nearby rooms. The next day, she knows, will redefine all their lives. Recalling the years before and after her children were born, she begins a story which is both a glowing celebration of love possessed and a moving acknowledgement of the fear of loss, of the fragilities, illusions and secrets on which even our most intimate sense of who we are can rest. It is the year 1995. A revelation lies in store. Her children's future lies before them. The house holds a family's history and fate. As a millennium draws to its close, and as day draws nearer, Paula's intensely personal thoughts touch on all our tomorrows. Brilliantly distilling half a century into one suspenseful night, as tender in its tone as it is deep in its soundings, "Tomorrow" is a magical exploration of coupledom, parenthood and selfhood, and a unique meditation on the mystery of happiness.

Abstract

"El fondo cuenta la historia de un hombre que trabaja como soldador submarino. Su familia, de numerosos hijos, lo aguarda cada noche para oír las aventuras más notable. El punto de partida se produce cuando el protagonista gana un televisor en una rifa. Su esposa ve en un canal local una publicidad con una fotografía suya, en la que aparece recibiendo el televisor de manso del carnicero y el escribano. Pero algo le resulta extraño: su marido tiene más pelo del que le queda por esos días. El pequeño detalle llevará a los personajes a asomarse a una historia desconocida, que esconde a la vez sórdidos secretos familiares. Una historia sobre la complejidad de los lazos familiares a través de la mirada, por momentos terrible, de los niños. La fascinación por las historias, la figura paterna, la promesa de sueños que nunca llegan a cumplirse del todo y la iniciación en el mundo de la adultez son algunos de los temas que aparecen en El fondo, pero también se hacen presentes, a veces a un mismo tiempo y de un modo inseparable, el humor y la tristeza."--Page [4] of cover.

Abstract

From desert warlord to surprise father! Children? Not for illegitimate Sheikh Nazir Al Rasul, whose desert fortress is less intimidating than his barricaded heart. Until Ivy Dean appears on his doorstep... and he finds out that, through IVF, she's bearing his heir! Surrogate Ivy agreed to carry her best friend's baby. Then tragedy forces her to seek out the child's biological father. But when Nazir insists on her hand in marriage, she's shocked. Always unwanted, virgin Ivy didn't see a family in her future... much less with an iron-hearted husband who makes her burn dangerously hot!

Abstract

Méfiez-vous des "bonnes intentions"... Rien de plus paisible que la Maison Borj, boulangerie d'une petite ville de province belge à la fin des années 1950. Un foyer sans histoire, deux adolescents charmants, un commerce florissant : les Borj ont tout pour être heureux. Avec générosité, ils acceptent de prendre Josée, une orpheline de guerre, en apprentissage. Une drôle de fille, cette Josée. Epileptique, pratiquement illettrée, mais pourvue d'un don d'autant plus émouvant qu'elle n'en a aucune conscience : elle chante divinement. Comment imaginer qu'une jeune fille aussi innocente puisse devenir celle par qui le malheur et la ruine vont s'abattre, telle une tornade, sur cette famille en apparence si harmonieuse ? (payot.ch)
