[Spanish] - Divorce, The / El divorcio (Spanish edition)

"Tres décadas de matrimonio parecen irse a pique en medio del sofocante verano de Estocolmo. ¿Qué fantasmas revivió la discusión que lo desencadenó todo? ¿Quién está diciendo la verdad? Moa Herngren debuta en español con el fenómeno literario que sacudió Suecia: una novela intrigante y adictiva que no podrás soltar hasta que decidas de qué lado estás. Toda historia tiene dos caras. . . Bea no podría estar más emocionada por sus próximas vacaciones en la isla de Gotland. Está desesperada por escapar del agobiante calor de Estocolmo y recuperarse del estrés de la vida cotidiana en compañía de su amado Niklas, con quien lleva casada treinta y dos años, sus dos malhumoradas hijas adolescentes y su querida familia política. Una noche, poco antes de su partida, Bea y Niklas discuten por un asunto trivial. Niklas sale con un amigo para desahogarse, pero no vuelve a casa, y la irritación de Bea pronto da paso al pánico al imaginar qué tipo de desastre podría haber ocurrido para retrasar su regreso. Lo que Bea descubre cambiará su vida para siempre: su marido está bien, pero su matrimonio, no. Él quiere dejarla, y aunque a Bea esto le parezca una locura repentina, para Niklas es cualquier cosa menos eso... Escrita con la calidez y la empatía que han hecho de sus perspicaces y apasionantes novelas familiares un éxito de ventas en su Suecia natal, Moa Herngren plantea preguntas juiciosas sobre por qué se rompen las relaciones: ¿La persona que se va es siempre la mala? ¿Qué surge cuando se empieza a rascar la superficie de lo que parece una situación clara? Contada desde las perspectivas de ambos, El divorcio es un apasionante drama doméstico que explora hábilmente las complejidades del matrimonio moderno. A decades-long, seemingly rock-solid marriage suddenly falls apart during one hot Stockholm summer in this addictive domestic drama that marks the American debut of #1 Swedish bestselling author Moa Herngren. There are two sides to every story . . . Bea couldn't be more excited to trade the stifling Stockholm summer heat for vacation on Gotland Island. She’s looking forward to spending quality time with her beloved husband of thirty-two years, Niklas, and their two moody teenage daughters, and recuperating from the stress of daily life in the company of her beloved in-laws. One night shortly before their departure, Bea and Niklas have a seemingly mundane argument over a trivial issue, and Niklas goes out with a friend to blow off steam. As the hours pass, Niklas doesn’t come home, and Bea’s irritation soon gives way to panic as she imagines what kind of disaster might have happened to delay his return. What she soon learns will change her life forever: while her husband is fine, their marriage is not. Her kind, gentle pediatrician husband wants to leave her. But while this might seem like sudden insanity to Bea, for Niklas, it’s anything but… Written with the warmth and empathy that have made her insightful, page-turning family novels bestsellers in her native Sweden, Moa Herngren raises thoughtful questions about why relationships fall apart: Is the person who leaves always the bad guy? What emerges once you begin scratching the surface of what seems like a clear-cut situation? Told from dual perspectives, The Divorce is a gripping domestic drama that deftly explores the complexities of modern marriage. Translated from the Swedish by Alice Menzies"
