But it’s not until his death that she learns of something else she’s inherited—a cocoa estate in Vinces, Ecuador, a town nicknamed “París Chiquito.” Eager to claim her birthright and filled with hope for a new life after the devastation of World War I, she and her husband Cristóbal set out across the Atlantic Ocean. But it soon becomes clear someone is angered by Puri’s claim to the estate… When a mercenary sent to murder her aboard the ship accidentally kills Cristóbal instead, Puri dons her husband’s clothes and assumes his identity, hoping to stay safe while she searches for the truth of her father’s legacy in Ecuador. Though freed from the rules that women are expected to follow, Puri confronts other challenges at the estate—newfound siblings, hidden affairs, and her father’s dark secrets. Then there are the dangers awakened by her attraction to an enigmatic man as she tries to learn the identity of an enemy who is still at large, threatening the future she is determined to claim… “A lush Ecuadoran cacao plantation is the setting for this imaginative historical drama filled with sibling rivalry and betrayals.

María Sánchez is obsessed with what she cannot see. As a field veterinarian following in the footsteps of generations before her, she travels the countryside of Spain bearing witness to a life eroding before her eyes—words, practices, and people slipping away because of depopulation, exploitation of natural resources, inadequate environmental policies, and development encroaching on farmland and villages. Sánchez, the first woman in her family to dedicate herself to what has traditionally been a male-dominated profession, rebuffs the bucolic narrative of rural life often written by—and for consumption by—people in cities, describing the multilayered social complexity of people who are proud, resilient, and often misunderstood. Sánchez interweaves family stories of three generations with reflections on science and literature. She focuses especially on the often dismissed and undervalued generations of women who have forgone education and independence to work the land and tend to family. In doing so, she asks difficult questions about gender equity and labor. Part memoir and part rural feminist manifesto, Land of Women acknowledges the sacrifices of Sánchez’s female ancestors who enabled her to become the woman she is. A bestseller in Spain, Land of Women promises to ignite conversations about the treatment and perception of rural communities everywhere.

Girl, Edna O’Brien’s hotly anticipated new novel, envisages the lives of the Boko Haram girls in a masterpiece of violence and tenderness. I was a girl once, but not anymore. So begins Girl, Edna O’Brien’s harrowing portrayal of the young women abducted by Boko Haram. Set in the deep countryside of northeast Nigeria, this is a brutal story of incarceration, horror, and hunger; a hair-raising escape into the manifold terrors of the forest; and a descent into the labyrinthine bureaucracy and hostility awaiting a victim who returns home with a child blighted by enemy blood. From one of the century's greatest living authors, Girl is an unforgettable story of one victim’s astonishing survival, and her unflinching faith in the redemption of the human heart.

ABOUT THE BOOK España. The country’s Spanish name rolls off the tongue so easily, provoking images of a lazy afternoon during siesta as warm breezes gently stir you awake. Upon awakening, you would stroll over to the nearest restaurant on Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s most famous street, and sit down for some steaming-hot tapas. As you knock back a glass of wine while waiting for your order, the thought hits you: if only you had a lovely Spanish lady by your side to complete this perfect moment. This book will attempt to help you find that dark-haired, boisterous woman of your dreams. Playboys and voyeurs, however, beware. Since this guide is written by a girl, respect and good intentions will be requirements on the journey. But if you heed my woman’s intuition to the end, with a little bit of luck and the key foreign languages phrases in this book, you will be successful no matter what your aim, be it a first date or long-term relationship. MEET THE AUTHOR Having trudged through four continents and lived in two countries by the age of 21, Yoonj considers herself a citizen of the world. It is through this perspective that she approaches everything in her life, including writing. Having studied journalism and international studies at Northwestern University, she is keen to tell stories of people and events around the world. She has previously written for The Chicago Tribune, The Orange County Register, and dabbled in documentary production at CNN. Her next stop will be e.tv, a television channel in Johannesburg, South Africa, where in her free time she hopes to indulge her other interests of food, drink, and dance. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK So you’re at the club, or cafe, or whatever your social venue of choice is, to meet people. You look around and spy over in the corner a tanned shoulder, dark eyelashes, a beautiful smile. A chica bonita. You’re dying to go over and talk to her but you have absolutely no idea what to do, what to say, or even which smile to give her. My advice to you: have no worries. Spanish girls, at least the many I’ve met through traveling, possess a wonderful combination of qualities: they stay relaxed while being vivacious talkers. All you will need is an interesting fact about yourself, so you’re basically covered since by virtue of being a foreigner in Spain (or Mexico, or any other Spanish-speaking country), you’re instantly interesting. Use that to your advantage, since one of the best ways to experience a new country is to meet new people. Now all you need to do is straighten your collar, fix that cowlick, and head on over to her armed with these Spanish terms. Buy a copy to keep reading!

An important contribution to the study of women writers. María de Zayas is unique in the seventeenth century as the only Spanish woman to write a collection of exemplary novels whose quality is often compared to Miguel de Cervantes’ masterful works. Her two main collections of short stories, Novelas amorosas y ejemplares and Desengaños amorosos, encompass a social critique based on literary fiction that exposes flaws in the idealized archetypes of masculine identity in early modern Spain. Zayas’s stories redefine women’s patriarchal disadvantage as a tool to expose the ways in which early modern Spanish women could be empowered to counteract men’s discursive and political authority, which they use to unfairly maintain their own social privilege. Xabier Granja Ibarreche explores how Zayas defies Spanish hegemony by manipulating and transforming the ideals of courtly masculinity that had been popularized by conduct manuals and the traits they specified for appropriate noble comportment. In doing so, Zayas elaborates a nonofficial discourse throughout plots that subvert patriarchal hierarchies: she rearticulates the existing ideological order to empower women who are no longer willing to remain silent and oppressed by masculine domination after centuries of failing to attain a sufficiently self-sufficient political position to ascend in the social hierarchy. By inverting the male gaze that assumes masculinity as a preeminent identity, Zayas subverts the patriarchal subject/masculine, object/feminine order and destabilizes manly superiority as a basic universal reality, thereby empowering and unshackling Spanish women to liberate Iberian culture from the repressive and pernicious future she forebodes.
