The list continues to reflect what will be for many the readings of this summer. In fiction, ‘Nuestro largo adiós,’ the new novel by Megan Maxwell,
which tells how the idyllic summer love between Bris and Alvaro struggles to last a lifetime, climbs to the top of the list.
Also continuing at the top is Isabel Allende's new ‘Mi nombre es Emilia del Valle,’ a story of nineteenth-century love and war, starring a woman who, faced with the greatest challenges, survives and reinvents herself, and ‘Por si un día volvemos,’ the new novel by María Dueñas, which takes us to Oran in the twentieth century.
On a more literary level, ‘El verano de Cervantes’ continues on the list, a celebration of the classic of our literature in which Antonio Muñoz Molina unfolds his long and fruitful relationship with Don Quixote and the mark that this revolutionary book has left on his literary work. Also, in the running are ‘El loco de Dios en el fin del mundo,’ the novel about the former Pontiff by Javier Cercas, and the already best-selling ‘La península de las casas vacías’ by David Uclés.
