One big happy family [large print]
Mallery, Susan, autora.
Los hijos de Julie Parker son su mayor regalo. Aun así, no se siente precisamente desconsolada cuando le piden que no pase una gran Navidad. Su hijo, Nick, se va de luna de miel con su esposa, Blair, mientras que su hija, Dana, se deshará de todo recuerdo del chico que la abandonó. Una vez más. Julie se siente prácticamente mareada por pasar unas vacaciones a solas con Heath, el hombre (mucho) más joven con el que está saliendo en secreto. Pero sus planes pasan de ser acogedores a caóticos cuando Nick y Dana le piden que pase la Navidad en la cabaña familiar en memoria de su difunto padre, el ex de Julie. No puede negarse, aunque teme sus reacciones ante su nuevo hombre cuando se den cuenta de que lo ha estado escondiendo durante meses. A medida que la lista de invitados crece de formas sorprendentes, desde la madre distanciada de Blair hasta los precoces hijos de Heath, el secreto de Julie es uno de los muchos que aún quedan por desentrañar. Durante esta Navidad deliciosamente complicada y muy divertida, descubrirá que cuanto más, mejor, y que una familia grande y feliz puede volverse más grande y feliz si dejan atrás viejas heridas y abren sus corazones al amor...

Erdrich, Louise, autor.
The Mighty Red is a novel of tender humor, disturbance, and hallucinatory mourning. It is about on-the-job pains and immeasurable satisfactions, a turbulent landscape, and eating the native weeds growing in your backyard. It is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets; men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. It is about a starkly beautiful prairie community whose members must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them. As with every book this great modern master writes, The Mighty Red is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor.....

Moriarty, Liane, autor.
Aparte de un retraso, no habrá problemas. El vuelo será tranquilo, aterrizará sin problemas. Todos los que se suban al avión se bajarán. Pero casi todos cambiarán para siempre. Porque en este vuelo doméstico, ordinario y corto, sucede algo extraordinario. La gente aprende cómo y cuándo va a morir. Para algunos, su muerte está muy lejos en el futuro -¡a los 103 años!- y se ríen. Pero para seis pasajeros, sus muertes previstas no están tan lejos en absoluto. ¿Cómo lo saben? En el vuelo había personas aparentemente más interesantes (los novios, la mujer nerviosa, posiblemente famosa, el tipo gigante estilo Hemsworth que parece un superhéroe fuera de servicio, la azafata agotada y hermosa), pero ninguna se haría tan famosa como “La Dama de la Muerte”. Ningún pasajero o miembro de la tripulación recordará después haberla visto subir al avión. No era excepcionalmente vieja o joven, grosera o educada. No estaba borracha ni nerviosa ni embarazada. Su apariencia y comportamiento no eran destacables. Pero lo que hizo en ese vuelo fue verdaderamente extraordinario. Unos meses después, un pasajero muere exactamente como ella predijo. Luego, dos pasajeros más mueren, nuevamente, como ella dijo que ocurriría. Pronto, nadie pensará que esto es simplemente una historia divertida en un cóctel. Si te dijeran que solo te queda una cierta cantidad de tiempo de vida, ¿harías las cosas de manera diferente? ¿Intentarías esquivar a tu destino?...

Wilkerson, Charmaine, author.
When ten-year-old Ebby Freeman heard the gunshot, time stopped. And when she saw her brother, Baz, lying on the floor surrounded by the shattered pieces of a centuries-old jar, life as Ebby knew it shattered as well. The crime was never solved--and because the Freemans were one of the only Black families in a particularly well-to-do enclave of New England--the case has had an enduring, voyeuristic pull for the public. The last thing the Freemans want is another media frenzy splashing their family across the papers, but when Ebby's high profile romance falls apart without any explanation, that's exactly what they get. So Ebby flees to France, only for her past to follow her there. And as she tries to process what's happened, she begins to think about the other loss her family suffered on that day eighteen years ago--the stoneware jar that had been in their family for generations, brought North by an enslaved ancestor. But little does she know that the handcrafted piece of pottery held more than just her family's history--it might also hold the key to unlocking her own future.....

Williams, Beatriz, author.
There’s been a sensational murder at historic Castle Kinloch, a gothic fantasy of grey granite on a remote island in the Highlands of Scotland. Literary superstar Brett Saffron Presley has been found dead—under bizarre circumstances—in the castle tower’s book-lined study. Years ago, Presley purchased the castle as a showpiece for his brand and to lure paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle has done him in…or, possibly, one of the castle’s guests has. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh, a local with no love for literary Americans, finds himself with the unenviable task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists. The prime suspects are Kat de Noir, a slinky erotica writer; Cassie Pringle, a Southern mom of six juggling multiple cozy mystery series; and Emma Endicott, a New England blue blood and author of critically acclaimed historical fiction. The women claim to be best friends writing a book together, but the authors’ stories about how they know Brett Saffron Presley don’t quite line up, and the detective is getting increasingly suspicious. Why did the authors really come to Castle Kinloch? And what really happened the night of the great Kinloch ceilidh, when Brett Saffron Presley skipped the folk dancing for a rendezvous with death? ....

Moore, Liz, 1983- author.
When Barbara Van Laar is discovered missing from her summer camp bunk one morning in August 1975, it triggers a panicked, terrified search. Losing a camper is a horrific tragedy under any circumstances, but Barbara isn't just any camper, she's the daughter of the wealthy family who owns the camp--as well as the opulent nearby estate, and most of the land in sight. And this isn't the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared in this region: Barbara's older brother also went missing 16 years earlier, never to be found. How could this have happened yet again? Out of this gripping beginning, Liz Moore weaves a richly textured drama, both emotionally nuanced and propelled by a double-barreled mystery. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the community working in its shadow, Moore's multi-threaded drama brings readers into the hearts of characters whose lives are forever changed by this eventful summer: Barbara's wounded, grieving mother; the "townie" whose family makes a living off this land; the 13-year-old camper struggling to find her way; and the outsider tasked with seeing the bigger picture, and uncovering the truth.....

Picoult, Jodi, 1966- autor.
As an undergraduate, Melina Green had a rare opportunity to have one of her first plays judged by famous theater critic Jasper Tolle, only to be publicly humiliated by a harsh and biased critique. Ten years later, her confidence as a playwright has never recovered, although she has just completed a work that she thinks is her best yet. It is based on the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, the first published female poet in England - and rumored to be the "Dark Lady" of Shakespeare's sonnets - but whom some scholars suspect may be the real author of a number of his plays. Melina wonders if she dares risk failure again, and then her best friend takes the decision out of her hands and submits it to a festival under a male pseudonym. In 1581, the young orphan Emilia Bassano is being raised in the ways of English aristocracy by the Baron Willoughby and his sister. Her lessons on languages, reading, and writing have endowed her with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling. But like most women of her day, she has no control over her fate, and is ripped from her old life and forced to become a courtesan to Lord Hunsdon, a man knighted by Queen Elizabeth as the Lord Chamberlain in charge of all theater in London. Though she has no other freedoms, and inspired by the work of the most brilliant playwrights of the time, she pseudonymously sets her own pen to paper to tell a story. Told in dual intertwining timelines, this sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire centers two women who are determined to create something beautiful despite the prejudices they face. As Emilia alters the course of her life and therefore the course of the world, she blazes a trail. Centuries later, will Melina face the same terrible fate - to have her work celebrated, but only at the price of letting another take credit?....
