Book Description
Jimena es la nueva Duquesa de Abrantera y ha tenido que trasladarse con sus hijos pequeños a vivir a Sevilla dejando a Eugenia en Madrid. En la madurez, contempla la vida con otros ojos. Pocas cosas consiguen sorprenderla del mismo modo que antes. Tan enamorada de Fernando como el día que se casaron y siempre atenta a sus hijos, ha cumplido una edad en la que empieza a plantearse el por qué de cuanto le ocurre a ella o a sus seres más cercanos. Con su característico ingenio, Jimena comenta en esta obra las cosas de la vida de las que le gustaría recibir explicación y que ella debe procurar contestar en una novela que le encarga una editorial. Amaya Morera es Licenciada en Derecho y Doctora en Historia Moderna. Actualmente vive en Madrid donde compatibiliza sus investigaciones sobre mobiliario español con la escritura. La pasión que siente por la Historia del Mueble sólo es comparable con la fascinación que le produce la vida que, según ella, "nunca dejará de sorprenderme". Troncosaurios y Por Qués completa la trilogía de "cosas de la vida". La autora ha cedido el 100% de los beneficios que obtenga por la venta de esta novela a los Proyectos de la Edad Dorada de la ONG Mensajeros de la Paz

Book Description
Internationally celebrated author Almudena Grandes has produced her finest work yet with The Wind from the East, a blend of two narratives set alternately in Madrid and an Andalusian town by the sea. Sara Gómes Morales,given up at birth to be raised by her wealthy godmother,is betrayed on her sixteenth birthday when she is forced to leave her godmother’s home and return to live in poverty with her estranged parents. Tortured by resentment and the loneliness of belonging to neither place,she finds solace as an adult only when she moves to the coastal town. Parallel to Sara’s story is the story of Juan and Damian Olmedo, brothers in love with the same woman. One night an argument incited by jealousy leads Damian to stumble down a flight ofstairs and fall to his death. Suspected ofmurdering his younger brother, Juan flees to the same village that served as Sara’s escape. Deftly engaging, The Wind from the Eastis an epic tale of love and redemption. Almudena Grandes' writing has been compared to the work of classic and contemporary voices such as the Brontë sisters and Isabel Allende.
