Publisher's summary
«Morir de amor: eso que no solo les pasa a los demás.» (Le Point)
La historia de una obsesión erótica es el descubrimiento literario del año en Francia: favorita de la crítica y los lectores, finalista del Premio Goncourt y ganadora del Premio de los Libreros de Nancy-Le Point.
Una noche, en una fiesta, dos mujeres se conocen por azar. Una vive su rutina de madre soltera y profesora con una pareja circunstancial. La otra es violinista, excéntrica, sensual y culta. Habla y ríe demasiado. Es Sarah.
A partir de entonces se suceden citas improvisadas, almuerzos, conciertos, lecturas, los cuartetos de Beethoven y la primavera en París. Hasta que un día Sarah dice: «Creo que me he enamorado de ti». Y se desata el amour fou, la pasión que quema a cada instante y que, como ocurre con todas las grandes pasiones, no puede acabar bien.
Voy a hablar de Sarah es la última gran revelación literaria francesa. Ha ganado importantes premios (estuvo a un paso del Goncourt) y ha sido comparada con Marguerite Duras y Yourcenar con su primera novela, hipnótica y arrasadora, que deja una huella indeleble.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Escribir sobre el amour fou es tan difícil como sufrirlo, o quizá más. [...] Sin caer en la cursilería, [Delabroy-Allard] presenta una auténtica narrativa que le valió ser candidata este año al Premio Goncourt.» (Evelyn Velázquez, El Mundo)
«El amour fou. Lo han contado muchas veces, sí, pero no tantas el lirismo y la autenticidad se abrazan en una misma novela. [...] Un flamante debut literario.» (Bruno Pardo Porto, ABC)
«Femenino plural: chica conoce a chica y salta la chispa. Amour fou a raudales.» (Virginia de los Ríos, Cosmopolitan)
«Una obra con una calidad literaria exquisita. Su prosa roza en ocasiones el lenguaje lírico, nos lleva a un viaje de locura del delirio quimérico e, incluso, ofuscador a través de una melodía frenética. [...] Lumen nos trae una obra de lectura indispensable, tanto por su estilo como por su destreza con la narrativa.» (María Elduayen Castillo, La Huella Digital)
«De la determinación y talento [de Delabroy-Allard] nace una novela hipnótica sobre el amor fou y sus devastadoras consecuencias.» (Faro de Vigo)
«Escrita desde la intimidad, con la conciencia plena de que el corazón casi nunca atiende a los dictados de la razón, la autora despliega, para hablar de la pareja protagonista, pero sobre todo de una de ellas, una prosa poética tan exquisita que no extraña que se le haya llegado a comparar con Marguerite Duras.» (Inés Martín Rodrigo, ABC)
«Pauline Delabroy-Allard pone en la página un acorde perfecto, una rara armonía entre dos mujeres. Bajo su pluma, el sexo en general y la caricia en particular se convierten, efectivamente, en un ejercicio, sí, pero con el sentido noble de una ascesis, capaz de dar a luz los escritos más abrasadores, la más carnal de las verdades.» (Jean Birnbaum, Le Monde)
«Una pura obra maestra. Un shock. Hacía mucho que no leía un libro así.» (David Foenkinos)
«La escritura de Delabroy-Allard -en su precisión obsesiva, atravesada por referencias que se plantean como pequeños signos para ser descifrados por grandes lectores- es todo movimiento, ritmo, no hay pausa. [...] Morir de amor: eso que no solo les pasa a los demás.» (Le Point)
«Delabroy-Allard se ha convertido en la flamante no ganadora del Goncourt y desde su lanzamiento está generando un fenómeno editorial. Todo apunta a que su novela desbordará las expectativas y se convertirá, también aquí, en una tormenta.» (Eudald Espluga, Playground, «El año que Pauline Delabroy-Allard no ganó el Goncourt»)
«Adiós, Pauline Delabroy-Allard. Está bien, para una novelista, haber llegado hasta aquí. Un poco como cuando los franceses se clasifican para octavos de final del Roland Garros: lo vemos como una casi victoria.» (Le Nouvel Observateur)
«El éxito de Pauline Delabroy-Allard -cuyo nombre es largo, pero sus frases más bien cortas o sincopadas- es haber relatado con habilidad y paciencia (es su primera novela) hasta qué punto se anudaron dos mujeres.» (Bernard Pivot, Le Journal du Dimanche)
«La primera novela de Pauline Delabroy-Allard, imposible novela de amor, exhibe una innegable habilidad y una belleza fulgurante.» (Emmanuelle Rodrigues, Le Matricule des Anges)

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.
