[Spanish] - Por qué volvías cada verano Audiobook

El libro que terminó con el secreto alrededor del abuso y se convirtió en clave de cientos de denuncias. «Hay libros que son hechos. Este es uno: se puede leer como una novela, como una denuncia, como la propia construcción. Porque es todo eso: una novela polifónica, el relato de un abuso padecido en la adolescencia en manos de un hombre armado, un tío poderoso, el macho de la familia y del pueblo. Y un hecho: acá está la mujer que fue la nena que ese tipo quiso romper para su uso personal. Y está toda entera, fuerte, hablando de lo que da tanta vergüenza hablar. Escribiendo contra todos los que intentaron callarla. Contra sí misma, incluso, a veces. Este libro es una batalla: la que ganó Belén López Peiró iniciando un juicio, buscando asesoramiento legal en un sistema que no les prodiga justicia a las víctimas, contándoles a todos sus parientes y vecinos, obligándolos a ver lo que no querían ver. Y escribiendo, haciendo de su propia experiencia una obra exquisita, una intervención política poderosa. Y muy necesaria». Gabriela Cabezón Cámara La crítica dijo: «El mapa de aquello que nos sucede, por fin al completo. Imprescindible». Brigitte Vasallo «Para mí un libro definitivo sobre el abuso sexual, además del descubrimiento de una voz de la que quiero leer mucho más». Nuria Labari «No, no es un libro para disfrutar. Es un libro para entender, para empatizar, para hacer real lo que no muchas se atreven a decir en alto». Andra.eus «Por eso la forma de este libro es tan perfecta o precisa para abordar la violencia machista, porque consigue hacer emocionalmente muy palpable la complejidad del entramado que sostiene la impunidad, el ruido de los juicios de los otros en la cabeza de una víctima, cuando no hay jerarquías, ni valoraciones, ni justicia. Solo la nítida ajenidad de todos ante la experiencia propia de la vulnerabilidad». Gabriela Wiener, elDiario.es «Belén López Peiró relata el abuso sexual sin ambigüedades, pero con mucha literatura». Mauro Libertella

Double Indemnity

Someone stands to gain millions of dollars from a hunter's accidental death . . . unless that death wasn't an accident. Matt and Elena Thompson present the picture of perfection. But their enviable life isn't all it seems. Their marriage is on the rocks, and financial disaster looms. Then Matt is killed in a hunting accident, and the questions and accusations begin to mount. Attorney Liz Acosta, newly arrived in the mountains of north Georgia after graduating from law school, plans to get some job experience on her resume before returning home to seek a position with a big-time firm. Intellectual pastor Connor Grantham isn't sure that shepherding a rural congregation is what he ultimately wants to do with his life. Drawn to philosophy, theology, and nature, he's beginning to feel more at home in north Georgia-especially after he meets the brilliant and energetic Liz. While Liz and Connor spend more time with each other and discover just how compatible two people from wildly different backgrounds can be, they're also being drawn into the shadowy world of Matt and Elena Thompson. As the couple's marriage counselor, Connor finds himself in the middle of their explosive arguments. As Elena's attorney, Liz is caught in the tailspin created by Matt's death. Together, Connor and Liz attempt to solve the mystery of what really happened to Matt. If his death is ruled an accident, then the double indemnity clause in his life insurance would go into effect, essentially doubling the payout. But as Liz sorts through the legal paperwork of who stands to gain an immense sum of money from Matt's death, Connor is accused of the unthinkable with much more at stake than millions of dollars. - Contemporary Christian legal drama - Perfect for fans of John Grisham

The Red Balcony: A Novel

Based on actual events, a gripping novel of sex, love, history and justice in the tinderbox of British Mandatory Palestine, by the acclaimed author of A Palestine Affair 'The story of what is arguably Israel's foundational murder trial-a tale of multiple identities and loyalties.' -Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of The Netanyahus "Pleases on several levels: as an adventure tale, a star-crossed romance and a detailed period piece." -The Wall Street Journal It's 1933, and Ivor Castle, Oxford-educated and Jewish, arrives in Palestine to take up a position as assistant to the defense counsel in the trial of the two men accused of murdering Haim Arlosoroff, a leader of the Jewish community in Palestine whose efforts to get Jews out of Hitler's Germany and into Palestine may have been controversial enough to get him killed. While preparing for the trial, Ivor, an innocent to the politics of the case, falls into bed and deeply in love with Tsiona, a free-spirited artist who happened to sketch the accused men in a Jerusalem café on the night of the murder and may be a key witness. As Ivor learns the hard way about the violence simmering just beneath the surface of British colonial rule, Jonathan Wilson dazzles with his mastery of the sun-drenched landscape and the subtleties of the warring agendas among the Jews, Arabs, and British. And as he travels between the crime scene in Tel Aviv and the mazelike streets of Jerusalem, between the mounting mysteries surrounding this notorious case and clandestine lovemaking in Tsiona's studio, Ivor must discover where his heart lies: whether he cares more for the law or the truth, whether he is more an Englishman or a Jew, and where and with whom he truly belongs.

Crónica del duro proceso que sigue a la denuncia de un abuso familiar y que implica enfrentar los prejuicios de la sociedad y los obstáculos de la justicia. «Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas». Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio.

Sin demagogias, Belén López Peiró revisa los contornos difusos de los recuerdos; ensaya respuestas al agobio de audiencias humillantes e indaga en los laberintos de los juicios por jurado.

16 Souls

A pilot’s emergency maneuver lands him in court in this thriller by a New York Times bestselling author who “knows how to keep his readers turning pages” (Booklist). On takeoff from Denver during a winter blizzard, an airliner piloted by veteran Captain Marty Mitchell overruns a commuter plane from behind. Bizarrely, the fuselage of the smaller aircraft is tenuously wedged onto the wing of his Boeing 757, leading Mitchell to an impossible life-or-death choice. Mitchell’s decision will land the former military pilot in the crosshairs of a viciously ambitious district attorney determined to send him to prison for doing his job. Despondent and deeply wounded by what he sees as betrayal by the system, Mitchell at first refuses to defend himself or even assist the corporate lawyer forced to represent him. Pitted against the prosecutorial prowess of a DA using Mitchell’s case to audition for a political appointment is young defense attorney Judith Winston. Her lack of experience in criminal cases could mean the end of Mitchell’s freedom, if he doesn’t end his own life first. But like the pilot she represents, she will not give up in the face of devastating odds—and she’s growing ever more determined to expose the corruption behind his personal nightmare.

When We Were Bright and Beautiful: A Novel

“Two parts Gone Girl, two parts Notes on a Scandal. . .will play with your expectations about who’s the villain and who’s the victim.” — Jennifer Weiner, USA Today The acclaimed, bestselling author of This Could Hurt returns with her biggest, boldest novel yet—an electrifying, twisty, and deeply emotional family drama, set on Manhattan’s glittering Upper East Side, that explores the dark side of love, the limits of loyalty, and the high cost of truth. You can have everything, and still not have enough. Cassie Quinn may only be twenty-three, but she knows a few things. One: money can’t buy happiness, but it’s certainly better to have it. Two: family matters most. Three: her younger brother Billy is not a rapist. When Billy, a junior at Princeton, is arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie races home to Manhattan to join forces with her big brother Nate and their parents, Lawrence and Eleanor. The Quinns scramble to hire the best legal minds money can buy, but Billy fits the all-too-familiar sex-offender profile—white, athletic, and privileged—that makes headlines and sways juries. Meanwhile, Cassie struggles to understand why Billy’s ex Diana would go this far, even if the breakup was painful. And she knows how the end of first love can destroy someone: Her own years-long affair with a powerful, charismatic man left her shattered, and she’s only recently regained her footing. As reporters converge outside their Upper East Side landmark building, the Quinns gird themselves for a media-saturated trial, and Cassie vows she’ll do whatever it takes to save Billy. But what if that means exposing her own darkest secrets to the world? Lightning-paced and psychologically astute as it rockets toward an explosive ending, When We Were Bright and Beautiful is a dazzling novel that asks: who will pay the price when the truth is revealed?
