Sinopsis del Libro

Libro El Camarero

In the tradition of the modern classics The Remains of the Day and A Gentleman in Moscow comes The Waiter, in which the finely tuned balance of a timeworn European restaurant is irrevocably upset by an unexpected guest... The Hills dates from a time when pigs were pigs and swine were swine, the Maître D' likes to say--in other words from the mid-1800s. Every day begins with the head waiter putting on his jacket. In with one arm, then the other. Shrugged onto his shoulders. Horn buttons done up. Always the same. There is clinking. Cutlery is moved around porcelain and up to mouths. But in this universe unto itself, there is scarcely any contact between the tables of regulars. And that is precisely how the waiter likes it. Sheer routine...until a beautiful young woman walks through the door and upsets the delicate balance of the restaurant and all it has come to represent. Told in a kaleidoscopic rotation of voices--the headwaiter, the bartender, the coat checker, the chef who never speaks--The Waiter marks the North American debut of an exciting new voice in literary fiction that will leave you longing to sit down at The Hills, order a drink, and watch the world go by...

Manhattan Exciting Love

Libro Manhattan Exciting Love

Lara es una chica normal y corriente. Quizás se parezca un poco más de lo que le gustaría a una ratoncita de biblioteca, sobre todo si se compara con sus amigas Sadie y Dylan. Por eso, cuando éstas le proponen dejar temblando la MasterCard y pasar un fin de semana a todo trapo en Atlantic City, al principio duda muchísimo, aunque finalmente acepta. Sin embargo, Lara no contaba con que su mirada se cruzaría con la de Connor Harlow en mitad de un exclusivo club. Reconocería esos ojos verdes sin dudarlo, pues lleva bochornosamente enamorada de él ¡desde los trece años! Connor es...

Días marcados por la incertidumbre, mascarillas, eternas colas en los supermercados, bizcochos caseros para pasar la angustia, aplausos, colecciones de rollos de papel higiénico e interminables llamadas con los seres queridos.
