'The most subtle and gifted writer in contemporary Spanish literature' Boston Globe'No one else, anywhere, is writing quite like this' Daily Telegraph A thrilling new literary offering from the acclaimed author of The Infatuations and A Heart So White'For a while, she wasn't sure that her husband was her husband. Sometimes she thought he was, and sometimes not...'Berta Isla and Tomás Nevinson meet in Madrid. Young and in love, they quickly decide to spend their lives together - never suspecting that they will grow to be total strangers, both living under the shadow of disappearances. Tomás, half-Spanish and half-English, has an extraordinary gift for languages and accents. Leaving Berta to study at Oxford, he catches the interest of a certain government agency, and its mysterious agent, Bertram Tupra. Tomás is determined to evade the agent's attentions but his fate is sealed by an escalating series of events that will affect the rest of his life - and that of his beloved Berta. Finishing his time at Oxford, he returns to Madrid to marry her, already knowing that the life they planned has been lost forever.Darkly gripping, Berta Isla examines a relationship condemned to secrecy and concealment, to pretence and conjecture, to resentment mingled with loyalty. With meticulous insight and understanding of the human soul, Marías examines the urge to change our destiny, and the hopeless exile we bring upon ourselves.
La Isla Bajo El Mar / The Island Beneath the Sea
La azarosa historia de una esclava en el Santo Domingo del siglo XVIII que lograr librarse de los estigmas que la sociedad le ha impuesto para conseguir la libertad.Para ser una esclava en el Saint-Domingue de finales del siglo XVIII, Zarit hab a tenido buena estrella: a los nueve a os fue vendida a Toulouse Valmorain, un rico terrateniente, pero no conoci ni el agotamiento de las plantaciones de ca a ni la asfixia y el sufrimiento de los trapiches, porque siempre fue una esclava dom stica. Su bondad natural, fortaleza de esp ritu y honradez le permitieron compartir los secretos y la espiritualidad que ayudaban a sobrevivir a los suyos, los esclavos, y conocer las miserias de los amos, los blancos. Zarit se convirti en el centro de un microcosmos que era un reflejo del mundo de la colonia: el amo Valmorain, su fr gil esposa espa ola y su sensible hijo Maurice, el sabio Parmentier, el militar Relais y la cortesana mulata Violette, Tante Rose, la curandera, Gambo, el apuesto esclavo rebelde# y otros personajes de una cruel conflagraci n que acabar a arrasando su tierra y lanz ndolos lejos de ella.Al ser llevada por su amo a Nueva Orleans, Zarit inici una nueva etapa en la que alcanzar a su mayor aspiraci n: la libertad. M s all del dolor y del amor, de la sumisi n y la independencia, de sus deseos y los que le hab an impuesto a lo largo de su vida, Zarit pod a contemplarla con serenidad y concluir que hab a tenido buena estrella. «En mis cuarenta a os, yo, Zarit Sedella, he tenido mejor suerte que otras esclavas. Voy a vivir largamente y mi vejez ser contenta porque mi estrella -mi z'etoile- brilla tambi n cuando la noche est nublada. Conozco el gusto de estar con el hombre escogido por mi coraz n cuando sus manos grandes me despiertan la piel. He tenido cuatro hijos y un nieto, y los que est n vivos son libres. Mi primer recuerdo de felicidad, cuando era una mocosa huesuda y desgre ada, es moverme al son de los tambores y sa es tambi n mi m s reciente felicidad, porque anoche estuve en la plaza del Congo bailando y bailando, sin pensamientos en la cabeza, y hoy mi cuerpo est caliente y cansado. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the sugar plantations of Saint-Domingue to the lavish parlors of New Orleans at the turn of the 19th century, the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende (In s of My Soul, The House of the Spirits, Portrait in Sepia) tells the story of a mulatta woman, a slave and concubine, determined to take control of her own destiny. Born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue, Zarit --known as T t --is the daughter of an African mother she never knew and one of the white sailors who brought her into bondage. T t surivves a childhood of brutality and fear, finding solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and in her exhilarating initiation into the mysteries of voodoo. When twenty-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, he discovers that running his father's plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither glamorous nor easy. Marriage also proves problematic when, eight years later, he brings home a bride. But it is his teenaged slave T t who becomes Valmorain's most inportant confindant. A heartwrenching and powerful story story of an extraordinary woman who forges her identity and finds love and freedom under the cruelest of circumstances. Isabelle Allende has done it again. "Allende is a master storyteller at the peak of her powers." -- Los Angeles Times

'I didna want to leave really. I wanted to push the red emergency button like they have on trains to stop and you have to pay a fifty pound fine if you didna mean it. I wanted to make the pilot turn the plane around. I wanted to go back to ma school. I didn't even know what Maidstone looked like. It sounded grey. Grey, dull and dreary. No music, no Castle, no Firth of Forth, no Lucy, no Helen, no Saturdays into Princes Street on the bus for GBP1, we get on for half I folded ma arms, arranging ma face into a permanent sulk with a clear 'No Entry' sign on it.' Isla moves down with her parents from Scotland to England and instantly feels herself in an alien land. But then she meets Luke and slowly their friendship blossoms into love. Each chapter reveals the alternate viewpoints of Isla and Luke - Isla the motormouth, Luke more measured. With the potential to appeal to both boys and girls, this is a brilliant first novel from a very talented author, also a teacher, who was discovered on the 'slush' pile.

"I'll be right back," I said, grabbing both glasses and heading downstairs to the kitchen.Five minutes later I returned and handed the refilled glass to him."I've got an idea for the name of the first book and the plot," he said and proceeded to rattle off the storyline of a twenty-something Canadian woman and her Mexicana friend who lived, worked, and partied with the other young singles. In his storyline, the two women had heard rumors about Captain Fermin Mundaca's buried treasure and decided to search for it.I burst into laughter.
