Clara Usón
Las fieras / The Beasts
A terrorist with delusions of grandeur. A teenager searching for her place in the world. An astounding generational portrait of the Spain of the 1980s, marked by political violence and dreams of freedom.
Rather than the number of victims Idoia López Riaño murdered in cold blood it was her icy beauty that attracted the attention of the media. Nicknamed the Tigress, she was not only an ETA terrorist but also a celebrity. Her story and her life are reconstructed in this extraordinary novel alongside that of Miren, a teenager who strives to be accepted despite the stigma of her father being a police officer, socially an enemy of the Basque people.
José María Ridao
Cuadernos de Malakoff / Notebooks from Malakoff
The aphorisms included in these Notebooks, written in Paris and distilled during the years José María Ridao has spent in New Delhi, unfold a world-view marked by irony, halfway between rational evidence that contradicts beliefs forged by tradition and an almost poetic intuition that reveals new and surprising dimensions of reality.

Àfrica Alonso
Una llum tímida / A Timid Light
A beautiful story of impossible love. Two women united forever in the wrong epoch.
At the height of the Franco dictatorship, in a small Valencian town, two teachers, Isabel and Carmen, fall in love and begin a furtive affair, at a time when lesbianism was considered immoral and criminal and therefore almost unthinkable. Isabel is mature and brave, she has cut ties with her family and accepts herself just as she is. Carmen, on the other hand, is fragile and dependent.
Brenda Lozano
Soñar como sueñan los árboles
The lives of Gloria Felipe and Nuria Valencia intertwine around the kidnapping of a little girl that shakes the Mexican capital in the 1940s. Through a narrator who (in her own words) 'doesn't sing rancheras badly,' we witness the Miranda Felipe family's battle to recover their youngest member and the anxious upbringing of the Fernández Valencia family to save their own daughter from a potential danger that the police haven't been able to stop, reported by the media in the tone of a thriller.
Rosario Raro
Prohibida en Normandía / Forbidden in Normandy
Una historia de amor en tiempos de guerra basada en la vida de la corresponsal de guerra más célebre de la historia.
Martha Gellhorn se negó a ser una nota a pie de página en la nutrida biografía de su marido, Ernest Hemingway. No estaba hecha para ser una solícita ama de casa, había cubierto como reportera la Gran Depresión y la guerra civil española, y ahora, en 1944, estaba firmemente comprometida en la lucha contra Hitler.
Carme Solé Vendrell
