Almudena Grandes - Author
Almudena Grandes is one of Spain's top-selling authors. Her first book, THE AGES OF LULU, sold over a million copies worldwide and was translated in 21 languages. Two of her books have been made into films and two more films have been contracted.
In its original form, this sweeping epic saga about the Spanish Civil War sold over 350,000 copies in its native Spain and it has now been beautifully translated into English; quite simply it is a Spanish Dr Zhivago. The discovery of an old folder of letters and the arrival of a stranger at the funeral of the incredibly wealthy and powerful Julio Carrión González throws the fate of the whole family into doubt. From the provincial heartlands of Spain to the battlefields of Russia, THE FROZEN HEART is a mesmerising journey through a war that tore families apart, pitted fathers against sons, brothers against brothers, wives against husbands. Against such a past, where do faith and loyalty lie? A “piece of passion” on The Frozen Heart from the publisher… "There is a reason why Almudena Grandes’s novels go straight to number one and sell over 300,000 copies in her native Spain – in fact there are several! First of all, she is a virtuoso storyteller and knows just how to keep her readers expectations balanced on a knife-edge." Click here to read more...

A stunning erotic novel that has sold over 1 million copies worldwide - FIFTY SHADES OF GREY for a more sophisticated and adventurous reader. Long before FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, Grandes was dazzling the literary world with this highly charged novel about a young woman embarking on a series of sexual adventures. Lulu's journey begins won the night she loses her virginity to Pablo - her brother's best friend and twelve years her senior. Their relationship is obsessive - not possessive - and their appetites for new erotic territory are insatiable. Lulu's thirst for sexual discovery takes her through voyeurism, power plays and homoeroticism. But soon her forays into illicit and dangerous sex threaten to absorb her completely.
A young Frenchwoman goes to work in a butcher's shop during her college vacation. Every day the butcher whispers obscenities in her ear, describing their imagined lovemaking. And as the summer heat takes hold, so does her lust. Here The Butcher is coupled with Reyes' second novella, Lucie's Long Voyage, which also features her irresistible blend of sensual earthiness and the dreamlike imagery of a fractured fairy tale.
