Bienvenidos de nuevo a la taberna Kamogawa, el fenómeno internacional que ha abierto al mundo el misterio de los sabores japoneses más deliciososCerca del templo Higashi Hongan-ji, entre callejones silenciosos y el rumor del viento sobre los tejados de Kioto, permanece abierto un restaurante sin letrero donde el tiempo parece detenerse. En sus fogones, el chef Nagare Kamogawa y su hija Koishi preparan deliciosos platos que son tambien fragmentos de vida. Alli, bajo la luz tenue de los faroles y el aroma del caldo recien hecho, se cruzan desconocidos que buscan algo mas que un sabor secreto: un gesto que sane, una palabra que reconcilie, una emocion que devuelva sentido a las experiencias vividas. Ahora, una sopa de miso despierta la imagen de una infancia lejana; un onigiri guarda el eco de una despedida; un cerdo salteado al jengibre rescata la dulzura de un amor imposible; unos fideos frios revelan un vinculo familiar; un pollo frito revive la generosidad de un maestro; y unos macarrones gratinados ofrecen la posibilidad del perdon. En cada receta late una historia, y en cada historia, una nueva vida, porque en la taberna Kamogawa los recuerdos se cocinan a fuego lento hasta transformarse en ternura, y cada encuentro encierra la promesa de un sentimiento recuperado.Con su inconfundible mezcla de misterio, emocion y sabiduria japonesa, Hisashi Kashiwai nos ofrece en Los sabores secretos de la taberna Kamogawa una lectura calida y reconfortante que invita a redescubrir el tiempo, la memoria y el amor.La critica ha dicho:Dejense llevar al pasado de los sabores y los aromas a traves de una narracion magica y repleta de emocion que te conquista desde el primer bocado.

A friendship is a filiation we choose. It holds love and laughter; it can extend our sense of the possible. Moved to honour a form of relation often subordinated to romantic and familial ties, and to explore a part of her own history, Helene Giannecchini pieces together an alternative genealogy of queer ancestors. In searching and sensitive prose, she sifts the past to bring existences deemed marginal into communion with each other, traces of which may remain only in memory and archival fragments. Roving from Casa Susanna, a space of freedom from persecution in McCarthyite North America, to the diary of a man living with HIV in France, and to the life and work of pioneering lesbian photographer Donna Gottschalk, each narrative counters oblivion through loving acts of witness. A slantwise gathering of queer life and activism in the twentieth century, interspersed with images encountered by chance, An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail establishes friendship as a vital political force and offers a moving testament to its liberatory power.

Set in what may be the future, and centred on six women sharing a space in some sort of crumbling apartment tower, Ruins, Child is remarkable for its irresistible sweep, wit, and prickly splintered truth. Giada Scodellaros novel is like a precious old mirror: dropped, looking up at you, flashing light and bits of the undeniable. With the pulsating sway of its liquid mosaic narrative, the novel may recall Virginia Woolfs The Waves, but is entirely its own animal: kaleidoscopic, pointedly disorienting in its looseness, and powered along by snatches of speech from its compelling ensemble cast, often vernacular, often overheard. Its a book seemingly drawn from deep wells of Black American reality: Scodellaros female protagonists push back against authority in the very vivacity of their telling, setting afoot a freeing-up and a mysterious inversion of marginalization. A surreal musing, Ruins, Child uses the lens of urban infrastructure, social commentary, folklore, choreography and collective listening to create an ethnography of place and an ode to communal ruins.

What does it mean to lose yourself and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Bartons formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.

A courageous story about a mother in crisis from one of Norways most exciting writers, for readers of Boulder and Detransition, BabySilje Marie has been keeping a secret from her wife. She loves one of her sons more than the other.In their sleepy suburb of Oslo, shes given Henry and Olav the childhood she never had: organic cotton clothing, a house by the forest, apple pies baked with Grandma on summer afternoons.But when Silje Marie stays behind to clear the house for an upcoming renovation, buried thoughts resurface. She is haunted by the sense that only one of her children truly feels like her own-an admission that would destroy her wife, Helene. Worse still, there is the other mother. A woman befriended in secret, whose sons resemblance to Henry is impossible to ignore.Spiky, daring and feverishly intense, this is a story about the complex confinement and joy of family life, and a mother drawn towards dismantling the home she has fought so hard to build.Raises impressive ruminations on the nature of this ownership we call love Kenan Orhan, author of The RenovationBrave, well-written, distinctive MorgenbladetExceptionally powerful Vrt LandDigs deep into the gnarly emotions hidden behind domesticity Szilvia Molnar, author of The Nursery

This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering authors profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyos red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a mans passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the countrys first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class womens lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace.

Part sequel, part reimagining, and wholly delightful Jodi PicoultAn absolute delight. Funny, moving and filled with heart Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious ThingsIt is a truism, frequently invoked by the members of the Meryton Womens Guild, that one is only ever as happy as ones unhappiest child. So, with five daughters and four grandchildren, it was a miracle Mrs Hester Bennet ever raised a smile. At best, she was only ever tentatively pleased, and even then understood that her contentment rested on the edge of a gaping precipice into which she would inevitably tumble the second Kitty or Lydia (it was almost always those two) messaged in the clutches of yet another existential crisisLydia, home from Paris on New Years Day in a welter of hangover and humiliation, finds herself swearing off drink, drugs and sex for the next 12 months. Through her unfamiliar sobriety, shell see a landmark year for all the Bennet sisters, including a disruptive 40th birthday, an engagement and a funeral: and, maybe, coming to terms with the results of a run-of-the-mill run-in with a jackknifed lorry on a wet stretch of the M1A sharply funny and unexpectedly tender modern sequel to Pride & Prejudice, this is a story of sisterhood, survival, and second chances. For fans of Marian Keyes, Dolly Alderton, and anyone whos ever wondered what the Bennet sisters would be like in the age of therapy, WhatsApp, and wellness trends gone rogue.
