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.
