The Lost Sisters

Autor: Lindsey Hutchinson

Número de Páginas: 425

Orpha Buchanan and Peg Meriweather had a very different start in life. Orpha surrounded by wealth and riches, Peg dumped on a doorstep as a baby with nothing to her name. But one thing they had in common was a mother who despised them and wished them gone. Hortense Buchanan wasn't made to be a mother. Bullied herself when she was a child, she continues the tradition with her own children. When her daughter, Orpha, runs away from home, Hortense celebrates, never once worrying for her safety. Circumstances bring Orpha and Peg together, and soon they're as close as family, making their way in the bustle of a booming Birmingham and the smoke-filled Black Country. But before long, Hortense realises that her daughter stands in the way of the one thing she really cares about, and the bitter legacy of the Buchanans looks set to destroy them all...

The Lost Sister is the haunting story of Cora Mae Monroe Temple Udell, who died in 1934 at age 19, leaving behind a husband, an ex-husband, a little daughter, two sisters, and her parents, Marshall and Jane Monroe.

This “haunting, consistently entrancing” novel of loss, redemption and immigrant life “evokes questions that are pressing and profound” (Quill & Quire, starred review). As the children of a Toronto immigrant family, Alisha has grown up in the shadow of her studious older sister Diana. But now Diana is missing, having never returned from a local job fair. The family’s worst fears are confirmed when Diana’s body is discovered in the woods. Shattered by the loss, Alisha is also haunted by a guilty secret: she may know the killer’s identity—and yet she can’t tell anyone. As her family unravels, Alisha finds unexpected solace when she befriends a woman who volunteers at her school. Paula was once an orphan in the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children. Estranged from her own sister, Paula helps Alisha understand that redemption and peace can only happen when we face difficult truths. Partly inspired by the true experiences of a formed resident of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children, The Lost Sister bravely explores themes of child abuse, neglect, and abduction against a complex interplay of gender, race, and class dynamics.

La caída del Imperio ruso

Autor: Humberto Reyes Valdés

Número de Páginas: 142

La desaparición de la última familia real de Rusia a principios del siglo XX y el intrigante papel de Rasputín en el seno de la familia, son en su conjunto uno de los misterios más atractivos de la historia de la humanidad. ¿Cuál fue el origen de la tragedia? ¿Acaso la gran duquesa Anastasia y el zarevich Alexei escaparon a la masacre? ¿Realmente se encontraron los restos de la familia? Humberto Reyes nos relata la historia de la caída de los Romanov desde una perspectiva distinta de la historia convencional: un enfoque biológico edificado sobre la genética. En este relato detectivesco, la molécula que guarda y transmite la información genética, el ADN, tiene un papel protagonista dual. En su secuencia encontramos las causas primordiales de la tragedia. Después, la misma molécula toma un papel diferente; se convierte en un poderoso testigo que arroja luz sobre los hechos y esclarece controversias. Humberto Reyes nos guía y facilita los intrincados caminos de la genética, y se encarga de llevarnos por veredas transitables, no exentas de misterio, sorpresa y sobresalto, para adentrarnos en la comprensión de la perspectiva biológica de esta historia, así como en...

Las hermanas Romanov

Autor: Helen Rappaport

Número de Páginas: 525

La historia, tan cautivadora como trágica, de Olga, Tatiana, María y Anastasia, hijas del último zar y las cuatro princesas más glamourosas de Europa. Cuatro preciosas jóvenes, tal vez las más admiradas y fotografiadas de la realeza de principios del siglo XX, objeto de incesantes rumores, nacidas en un mundo de glamour y opulencia, crecieron ajenas a su destino entre juegos, coqueteos con oficiales del ejército y mascotas... hasta la Primera Guerra Mundial y la Revolución. Pero ¿quiénes eran realmente, más allá de su imagen edulcorada de niñas bonitas con vestidos blancos y grandes sombreros? ¿Cuáles eran sus esperanzas personales, sus sueños y aspiraciones y cómo se relacionaban entre sí y con sus padres? ¿Cómo era su vida como parte de la familia imperial? Helen Rappaport coloca a las cuatro hermanas en el centro del escenario y, basándose en sus cartas, diarios y otras fuentes primarias hasta ahora no examinadas, reconstruye la fascinante personalidad de cada una de ellas, pero al mismo tiempo traza un impresionante retrato familiar y de la Rusia prerrevolucionaria. El 17 de julio de 1918, bajaron al sótano de una casa en Ekaterinburg. La mayor tenía...

La hermana de Freud

Autor: Goce Smilevski

Número de Páginas: 217

Fue Sigmund Freud culpable de la muerte de su hermana en un campo de concentración? En 1938 Sigmund Freud consigue un salvoconducto para huir del régimen nazi y la posibilidad de llevar consigo a algunas personas de su entorno. Escribe una lista de dieciséis nombres, entre ellos están su perro, su cuñada, sus criadas y su médico, pero no sus hermanas. Unade ellas, Adolphine, es la protagonista de esta asombrosa novela sobre la familia Freud, el esplendor artístico y cultural de Viena a comienzos de siglo, y la controvertida época que le tocó en suerte. La crítica ha dicho: «Obra profunda, inteligente, audazmente imaginativa... Ningún admirador del maestro vienés saldrá indemne.» Alberto Manguel, Babelia «Un joven heredero de Günter Grass y José Saramago con un importante mensaje para el futuro del viejo continente.» The Forward «Me ha conmovido... Resulta muy difícil de olvidar y es probable que sea tan polémica como aclamada.» Joyce Carol Oates «Una joya... Emocionante, provocadora e inolvidable.» Publishers Weekly «Adolphine Freud explora las creencias de su hermano con una sensibilidad hacia las debilidades humanas que a menudo falta en las obras de...
