Book Description
For fans of Schitt’s Creek and Sally Rooney’s Normal People, an irresistible and bighearted international bestseller that follows a brother and sister as they navigate queerness, multiracial identity, and the dramas big and small of their entangled, unconventional family, all while flailing their way to love. It’s been a year since his ex-boyfriend dumped him and moved from Auckland to Buenos Aires, and Valdin is doing fine. He has a good flat with his sister Greta, a good career where his colleagues only occasionally remind him that he is the sole Maaori person in the office, and a good friend who he only sleeps with when he’s sad. But when work sends him to Argentina and he’s thrown back in his former lover’s orbit, Valdin is forced to confront the feelings he’s been trying to ignore—and the future he wants. Greta is not letting her painfully unrequited crush (or her possibly pointless master’s thesis, or her pathetic academic salary...) get her down. She would love to focus on the charming fellow grad student she meets at a party and her friendships with a circle of similarly floundering twenty-somethings, but her chaotic family life won’t stop intruding: her mother is keeping secrets, her nephew is having a gay crisis, and her brother has suddenly flown to South America without a word. Sharp, hilarious, and with an undeniable emotional momentum that builds to an exuberant conclusion, Greta & Valdin careens us through the siblings’ misadventures and the messy dramas of their sprawling, eccentric Maaori-Russian-Catalonian family. An acclaimed bestseller in New Zealand, Greta & Valdin is fresh, joyful, and alive with the possibility of love in its many mystifying forms.

Book Description
'Warm, witty and utterly idiosyncratic' ALICE SLATER Siblings Greta and Valdin have, perhaps, too much in common. They're flatmates, beholden to the same near-unpronounceable surname, and both make questionable choices when it comes to love. Valdin is in love with his ex-boyfriend Xabi, who left the country because he thought he was making Valdin sad. Greta is in love with fellow English tutor Holly, who appears to be using her for admin support. But perhaps all is not lost. Valdin is coming to realize that he might not be so unlovable, and Greta, that she might be worth more than the papers she can mark. Helping the siblings navigate queerness, multiracial identity, and the tendency of their love interests to flee, is the Vladisavljevic family: Maori-Russian-Catalonian, and as passionate as they are eccentric. Rebecca K. Reilly's exploration of love, family, karaoke, and the generational reverberations of colonialism will make you laugh, cry, and fall for the whole Vladisavljevic bunch.

Languages : es
Pages : 275
Book Description
Un hermano. Una hermana. Muchísimas emociones en un mismo apartamento. Esta es la historia de Greta y Valdin: dos hermanos de veintipico años con un apellido prácticamente impronunciable, una extensísima familia con raíces maoríes, rusas y catalanas, y un gusto bastante cuestionable en lo que a parejas se refiere. Valdin parece incapaz de olvidar a su exnovio, que se ha ido del país. Greta, por su parte, tiene un crush no correspondido con una compañera de trabajo, Holly, que es profesora de inglés y se aprovecha de ella para que le haga tareas administrativas. Sin embargo, aún hay esperanza para este par de hermanos enamoradizos. Al menos, se tienen el uno al otro para sobrevivir a las desgracias y a los problemas que les presenta la vida adulta moderna..., a menos que algún drama se interponga entre ellos. Entre las citas que salen mal, las disputas familiares y las noches de karaoke vergonzosas, Greta & Valdin narra una historia novedosa, conmovedora y desternillante sobre las vicisitudes del amor en todas sus formas. «Divertidísima, conmovedora y realmente sublime». JULIA ARMFIELD «Cálida, ingeniosa y absolutamente idiosincrásica». ALICE SLATER «Reilly posee una voz maravillosa y cargada de confianza... Greta & Valdin es una novela fantástica sobre la clase de familia rara, progresista y dramática (pero no hasta el punto de crearte un trauma) que a todo el mundo le gustaría tener. Justo ese es el motivo por el que creo que gustará a mucha gente». TIMES «Una novela inteligente, graciosa y emotiva... Es extremadamente sagaz, pero también es conmovedora y está repleta de frases ingeniosas». DAILY MAIL
