My copy of The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia Alvarez, published by Charco Press. The cover shows handwriting and hand drawn plants of different colours on a grey-green background. Text interview the title and author notes that the author was awarded The National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama.
The greatest pleasure of physical bookstores is discovery. Browsing without a destination and finding the story you need in that moment. This chance meeting is going very well so far. :-) The Cemetery of Untold Stories by @writerjalvarez.bsky.social published by @charcopress.com in the UK.
Fate, by Jorge Consiglio, tr by Carolina Orloff & Fionn Petch. The plot of this novel is focused on a group of characters, each endeavouring to make a mark on their own fate. However, their desire to lead a genuine existence will lead them to face the most difficult decisions, and to break away from comfortable habits. Carl and Marina have been living together for over ten years and have a six-year old son, Simón. Carl is an oboist at the national orchestra, and Marina is a meteorologist. Then there is Amer, a successful taxidermist. In a self-help group for smokers who want to quit, Amer meets Clara, 20 years younger than him. While the relationship between Carl and Marina is breaking up, the relationship between Amer and Clara is just beginning. Or is it already at the end? Immersed in their loneliness and existential confusion, the lives of these characters intermingle in an exquisitely written, captivating novel which attempts to narrate that fleeting and intrinsically profound moment in our adult lives when we look in the mirror and discover that we don’t like what we see.
