Download or read book Mother Land written by Paul Theroux and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A darkly hilarious portrait of one dysfunctional American family and its scheming matriarch Everyone in Cape Cod thinks that Mother is a wonderful woman: pious, hard-working, frugal. Everyone except her husband and seven children. To them she is a selfish and petty tyrant -- endlessly comparing her many living children to the one who died in childbirth, keeping a vice-like hold on her offspring even as they try to escape into adulthood. Welcome to Mother Land: a suffocating kingdom of parental narcissism. This is an engrossing, hilarious and heartbreaking portrait of a modern family -- the bickering, the conspiracies, and the drive to overcome the painful ties that bind.

Book excerpt: It is 1955 and two cousins, Nora and Alicia, are growing up in Cuba, where the sea is a beguiling turquoise and at night the lights glitter like stars along Havana's shoreline. But revolutionary storm clouds are gathering, and as Fidel Castro comes to power, banks are closed, religion outlawed, and food shortages begin. Nora and her family emigrate to California; Alicia and hers stay behind. But Nora has left her heart in Cuba with her cousin. As the years pass and she becomes a woman, Alicia writes of her marriage to Tony, the birth of her daughter, and the terrible privations ordinary Cubans are suffering. When Tony is arrested for anti-revolutionary behaviour, and Alicia and her daughter's survival becomes increasingly hand-to-mouth, Nora knows she must leave her privileged life in America and return to help them. But Cuba, and Alicia's life as a single parent, is like nothing she has ever imagined...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Salón Italiano de Cádiz, conocido como la heladería «Los Italianos», es el epicentro de la historia de amor entre Harry y Marina, cuyas vidas se entrelazan en la posguerra. A través de la narración alternada de sus historias, conocemos a sus protagonistas: Harry, es inteligente y tiene buen corazón. Su familia inglesa forma parte de la alta burguesía, militar y conservadora, pero está abrumada por los enormes cambios sociales que ocurrieron en el período de entreguerras. La historia de Harry nos lleva desde su primer recuerdo, el día de la rendición de los Nazis, hasta su llegada a Cádiz en 1962. Marina es guapa, lista y tiene el fi rme propósito de triunfar en la vida. Al principio, su familia le proporciona las circunstancias ideales para lograr este resultado: sus familiares son gente con iniciativa y ganas de trabajar para hacerse una vida mejor. Mientras se fragua la guerra huyen de Italia y abren la famosa heladería de la calle Ancha. La obsesión con la heladería provoca una desavenencia que casi destruye a la familia. Cuando conoce a Harry, Marina fi nalmente puede imaginarse otra manera de vivir. A pesar de las tensiones culturales y familiares, Harry se escapa de los constreñimientos de su clase social, y se empieza a conocer a sí mismo. Marina aprende que ella tiene que ser egoísta si quiere lograr su propia felicidad. Desde la contenida acuarela de la vida burguesa en Inglaterra, al óleo de colorido chillón de Cádiz, Amor, guerra y helado nos cuenta la historia de dos familias que luchan para sobrevivir en el nuevo orden mundial. Depende de Harry y de Marina demostrarles a sus padres que la vida as para vivirla.

A collection of previously uncompiled stories from the short-story master and literary sensation Lucia Berlin In 2015, Farrar, Straus and Giroux published A Manual for Cleaning Women, a posthumous story collection by a relatively unknown writer, to wild, widespread acclaim. It was a New York Times bestseller; the paper’s Book Review named it one of the Ten Best Books of 2015; and NPR, Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, The Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and other outlets gave the book rave reviews.
