Vuelve la mejor Jhumpa Lahiri, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer y aclamada por sus «historias simples y sutiles, sembradas con sentimientos inesperados, como un campo de minas» (Pedro Almodóvar)
Una familia disfruta de sus vacaciones en una casa de campo romana mientras la hija de los guardianes —una pareja que arrastra una antigua afrenta— se encarga de las tareas domésticas y la observa discretamente; un alegre reencuentro de dos amigas revela, sin embargo, diferencias irreconciliables; un escritor maduro se obsesiona por una mujer con la que solo coincide en las fiestas de una amiga; una familia hostigada por sus vecinos se ve obligada a abandonar su hogar. Con estos «cuentos escritos en estado de gracia» (Roberto Carnero, Avvenire),la autora de El intérprete del dolor y Tierra desacostumbrada vuelve al género que la hizo mundialmente célebre y acreedora de los premios Pulitzer y PEN/Hemingway. Relato tras relato, Jhumpa Lahiri nos sorprende y nos conmueve con un libro deslumbrante sobre el amor, el desarraigo y la soledad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Jhumpa Lahiri returns at her best—winner of the Pulitzer Prize and acclaimed for her “simple, subtle stories, planted with unexpected emotions, like a minefield” (Pedro Almodóvar).
A family enjoys their vacation in a Roman country house while the caretakers’ daughter—a young woman burdened by an old family grievance—quietly observes them as she handles the household chores. A joyful reunion between two friends reveals irreconcilable differences. A middle-aged writer becomes obsessed with a woman he only sees at parties hosted by a mutual friend. A family, tormented by their neighbors, is forced to abandon their home. With these “stories written in a state of grace” (Roberto Carnero, Avvenire), the author of Interpreter of Maladies and Unaccustomed Earth returns to the genre that made her world-famous and earned her both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Hemingway Award. Story after story, Jhumpa Lahiri astonishes and moves readers with a brilliant book about love, displacement, solitude, and the natural rhythms of a city that embraces everyone equally.
