Arielle Becker is one hora away from a meltdown. After one too many bridesmaid gigs--complete with Spanx, heels, and hideous dresses--she's officially over love and its overpriced trappings. Especially when they keep coming with the same smug, judgmental wedding singer. Judah Klein is New York's go-to Modern Orthodox wedding singer and most eligible bachelor. Years of failed setups have left him jaded, until repeated clashes with a fiery bridesmaid wake him right up. But when snarks turn to sparks, and fights turn to feelings, things get complicated. Arielle is not a girl who settles down. And Judah is not a guy who hooks up. So why does walking away feel impossible? "I came for the sexy opposites-attract romance, stayed for the joyous celebration of Jewish life and community, and fell hard for Judah, Ari, and their journey toward one another but also toward finding themselves. Soon by You somehow manages to be both sizzlingly hot and meltingly sweet at the same time; the only thing I disliked about the book was that it had to end. I can't wait for more hot Jewish romance from Dahlia Adler!" - Amanda Elliot, USA Today bestselling author of Love You a Latke "Dahlia Adler's Soon by You is a romance that sets itself apart. Readers are afforded a rare glimpse inside the Orthodox Jewish dating scene in a way that's both immersive and authentic.

El Principio del Mundo / The Beginning of the World
Una brutal radiografía del siglo XX peruano, un tributo conmovedor a la tarea crucial de los maestros y una carta rabiosa de amor a la madre «Una bellísima meditación sobre la memoria y el paso del tiempo, escrita con las emociones en la piel y, al mismo tiempo, con algo que sólo puedo llamar sabiduría. Gamboa es un novelista de una rara sensibilidad». --Juan Gabriel Vásquez «Ese había sido mi principio. Yo era hijo de esa herida». Un hombre de treinta y tres años regresa a su país, el Perú, sintiéndose un náufrago: no tiene pareja, amigos, capital ni trabajo, y tampoco la menor idea de hacia dónde dirigir su vida; solo ha atinado a refugiarse en casa de su madre en el barrio de su infancia, de donde salió años antes jurando que jamás volvería. El retorno supone un viaje a las luces y sombras de la memoria. Así, la aparición de un amigo del pasado, y con él la profesora que les enseñó a leer y escribir, produce un torbellino de revelaciones dolorosas que irá desatando su nudo interior: los fantasmas del origen, el terror del país en el que creció, la experiencia de la precariedad en la escuela pública, y más allá, los padecimientos de la vida rural andina y el descubrimiento de las brechas sociales y raciales. El principio del mundo es un tratado adolorido de la memoria personal y familiar, una brutal radiografía del siglo XX peruano, pero también un tributo conmovedor a la tarea crucial de los maestros y una carta rabiosa y desesperada de amor a la madre. Con esta obra ambiciosa y compleja, Jeremías Gamboa expande su universo personal y rinde un homenaje de excepción a la novela latinoamericana como instrumento para nombrar la realidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A thirty-three-year-old man returns to his native Peru and feels lost: he has no partner, friends, money or work, or the slightest idea of where his life his headed. He holes up in his mother's house in the neighborhood he left years ago, vowing never to return. There he experiences a whirlwind of memories, exacerbated by the reappearance of an old friend and the teacher who taught him to read and write. The resulting revelations, while painful, begin to unravel the emotional knot he's been carrying inside him: the ghosts of his origins, the terror that held sway over the country during his childhood, the shame of being an impoverished public-school student, the hardships of rural Andean life, and his discovery of social and racial injustice. The Beginning of the World is a personal and family memoir, a brutally frank dissection of twentieth-century Peruvian society. At the same time, it is a moving tribute to the essential role of teachers and a wrenching love letter to the protagonist's mother. In this complex and ambitious work, Jeremías Gamboa expands his personal universe and pays homage to the Latin American novel as a tool for naming reality.Sold out -
El Cielo Está Vacío / The Sky Is Empty
Una historia intensa y perturbadora de amor, rabia y desesperación entre dos mundos contrapuestos Por la autora ganadora del Premio San Clemente y finalista del Premio Nacional de novela en Colombia
«Con su prosa rica y valiente, desteje los hilos del tiempo y el dolor para mostrarnos el alma humana». --Pilar Quintana, Premio Alfaguara de novela
«Una de las escritoras que revolucionan las letras latinoamericanas». --SModa La protagonista de esta historia recibe un mail inesperado de un antiguo amante que despierta en ella el recuerdo de un episodio pasado: siendo muy joven, dejó durante un tiempo el hogar familiar en medio de la naturaleza colombiana para marcharse a Londres y probar suerte lejos de su país. Allí entabla una ambigua relación con un inglés que le dobla la edad. Pronto el amor y el deseo quedarán atravesados por una dependencia mutua, perturbadora y asimétrica que terminará marcándolos a ambos. El cielo está vacío es una historia iniciática sobre el despertar sexual, sobre encender el fuego en una sociedad que se empeña en apagarlo, sobre sentirse invisible y fuera de lugar, sobre cómo llegamos a convertirnos en quienes realmente somos y las cosas a las que tenemos que renunciar para lograrlo. La novela indaga en la pérdida de la juventud, la soledad, la incapacidad de comunicarse, las dificultades de los inmigrantes, el chantaje sexual y la eterna búsqueda de la figura del padre y del amor como arma que puede enaltecer al ser humano y al mismo tiempo destrozarlo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An intense and disturbing story about love, rage, and desperation, between two opposing worlds. By the San Clemente Award winning author, and runner-up for the National Novel Prize in Colombia. The protagonist of this story receives an unexpected email from a former lover who awakens in her the memory of a past experience: when she was very young, she left her family home in the Colombian landscape for a while, and went to London to try her luck away from her country. There she began an ambiguous relationship with an Englishman twice her age. Soon, love and desire were pierced by this disturbing, asymmetric codependency that would ultimately leave an imprint on them both. The Sky Is Empty is a coming-of-age story about sexual awakenings, about lighting a fire in a society bent on quenching it. It is about feeling invisible and out of place, about how we become who we really are and the things we must give up to get there. The novel delves on the loss of youth, on loneliness, the inability to communicate, the plight of immigrants, sexual blackmail, the endless search for a father figure, and love as a weapon capable of exalting human beings and tearing them apart at the same time.Sold out -

For as long as I can remember, I've been a fighter.

From self-harm to suicide attempts and her family's suffering, The long-lasting effects of her assault expand far beyond the start of the horror she experience-revealing a deep, personal struggle to survive in a world that too often refused to listen.
Yet in sharing her journey from victimhood to survivorship, she aims to encourage others to speak up, support one another, and work fighting all together toward healing and justice. -
