The 5 best-selling fiction titles
After the list of best selling books non-fiction, today we go with the fictional. Others 5 titles that lead the current market. Does not get off the podium Fernando Aramburu and Homeland. Fences and Zafón they remain as usual among the favorites. Re-consider the successful @BetaCoqueta, or Elisabet benavent. And the poetic prose of the Vigo Gomez Iglesias.
Again thanks to my literary contact off the record, on the qt and very… hush hush. We review.
Fiction
Homeland - Fernando Aramburu
This testimony of reflection on more than 30 years of life in the Basque Country under terrorism continues at the top. Undoubtedly indispensable not only because of the emotional charge of the story (the one that counts and the one that is for everyone), but also because of the current situation in which we still live.
The decision of a woman, Bittori, to return to the house where she lived with her husband, murdered by ETA, rediscovers the false tranquility of her people. The most particular and very personal conflict between Bittori and her neighbor and former best friend Miren is a reflection of the deepest and most conflicting feelings that still persist in general. And the whole story tells us about the impossibility of forgetting and the need for forgiveness that still hides political fanaticism.
1775 Streets - Offreds José A. Gómez Iglesias
Offreds José A. Gómez Iglesias is a boy from Vigo in love with traveling, trains and writing in any blank space. And that was what he did one day almost without thinking. Through social networks he began to write about his thoughts, wishes and experiences of today, yesterday and tomorrow. As simple as it is directly, which is what the language of social networks requires. To those special situations in anyone's life, he added an overflowing imagination.
The result: a amalgamation of poetry with prose, or prose with poetry to express feelings simply. And there it is. In second place.
The monarch of the shadows - Javier Cercas
More than 15 years have passed since the publication of Soldiers of Salamis and Javier Cercas returns to the Civil War. This novel is more intimate and personal, and delves into your family's most uncomfortable past.
Account the search for a boy's lost trail almost anonymous who fought for an unjust cause and died on the wrong side. His name was Manuel Mena and in 1936 he joined Franco's army. Two years later he died in the Battle of the Ebro, and for decades he became the official hero of his family. It was him great uncle by Javier Cercas, who always refused to inquire into his history, until he felt compelled to do so.
The magic of being Sofia (Bilogy Sofía 1) - Elísabet Benavent
After the overwhelming success of her previous books, Elísabet Benavent, also known as @BetaFlirty, come back with the first part of a biology that tells us, with freshness and humor, what happens when two people burdened by the weight of circumstances meet and discover that magic only exists when they look into each other's eyes.
They seem to be good titles, what did not convince me is that they are the best sellers based on who or what
