About The Mule Spinners’ Daughters: The Runaway from the Altar (Quarry Bank Tales) by G J Griffiths:
“Readers will not be disappointed with the Mule Spinners Daughters. It had me gripped from start to finish.” “G J Griffiths superb storytelling captures the historical elements of socioeconomics, religion, humor, romance…” Sebastian : But there is an obstacle, a principle of hers that she’s read of in a book by a woman called Mary Wollstonecraft… ‘Women should be wives and companions to their husbands!” Did Mary Wollstonecraft fill the farm girl’s head with too many ideas of feminism? When Sally Sefton runs away from Sebastian at the altar on her wedding day there is a desperate chase to find her. Some of her friends think they know why she ran. But only Cathy Priestley thinks she knows where. Her chief bridesmaid suspects Sally may have joined the Christian Israelites. Will they find her before the group sails on a missionary tour abroad? The split causes a bitter dispute between Sebastian and Wesley, her brother. While feelings are running so high there seems to be no hope of reconciliation between the families. Book One in the series, ‘The Quarry Bank Runaways’, tells the much earlier tale of their fathers when they journeyed on foot to Hackney workhouse in London. They were then boy apprentices who had escaped from the Cheshire cotton mill, desperate to find their destitute mothers. Book two, ‘Mules; Masters & Mud’, is about what happened to the apprentices during the Industrial Revolution, when they were qualified cotton mule spinners. Serious events, including the Peterloo Massacre, impinge upon the lives of Thomas Priestley and Joseph Sefton
About Featured Book: Private Cummings by Pete McGinty
A man and a boy whose lives unexpectedly connect are impacted in improbable ways.
Private Hank Cummings didn’t ask for the fate that befell him during his service in WWll. Saving the lives of three men from the burning wreckage of a B-29 left him a hero, albeit scarred and disabled. But when his personal secret was revealed, he recoiled into a life of seclusion and solitude for much of his adulthood.
Never losing his spirit and will to endure, he persevered through his hardships, finding the determination to live a full and prosperous life. His humility caused him to resist the hero’s legacy he so richly deserved and would posthumously receive.
Thirty years after a chance meeting with an inquisitive thirteen-year-old boy, the two reunite in Hank’s final days, mending tragedy and suffering into self-discovery, peace, and purpose for both.

About Els nens de l’Elisa (Catalan Edition):
Novel·la tercera finalista del XXIV Premi Ramon Llull l’any 2004
L’Elisa és una mestra amb indiscutible talent i vocació per a l’ensenyança, capaç de rebutjar pretendents als voltants de la seva trentena, tot i que sent una especial atracció pels adolescents. Ella controla la seva vida. Fins que l’argument comença a capgirar-se-li subtilment. L’Elisa ha trobat un jove de tretze anys amb una situació familiar alarmant, capaç de caminar cinc quilòmetres amb l’excusa de recuperar els seus guants.
En un indret on l’hivern s’engoleix la primavera i la societat es torna calculadora i egoista, la veu narradora d’un jove rememora un moment crucial que el marcarà de per vida. Algú que sembla tenir dues úniques coses al cap: la primera, no acabar com els seus pares; i la segona, arribar a conèixer l’Elisa.
“L’Elisa és un personatge completament desmarcat dels tòpics. Núria Añó dibuixa una antiheroina evitant el maniqueisme, ensenyant-ne tant la faceta més tendra com la més sòrdida. Una novel·la difícil, exigent amb el lector, que agradarà els amants de la narrativa psicològica.”—La Mañana
About L’escriptora morta (Catalan Edition):
L’Anna és una escriptora de mitjana edat que va decidir pujar la seva filla sola . Actualment la Berta ha crescut, i els dubtes que li suposaria conèixer el seu pare, a qui només ha vist en una fotografia, s’incrementen quan la relació que manté amb el seu xicot entra en crisi. En Hans treballa en una fàbrica i té una germana, la Clara, una jove incompresa que viu obsessionada per un tipus que condueix una moto groga.
Però és sobretot la història de l’Anna Flieder, que quan opta per escriure un llibre de caire biogràfic, la inspiració la visita i pren la forma d’aquell home a qui fa anys va abandonar .
“Obra dirigida a tots aquells que els agrada llegir i es deixen absorbir per la lectura, perquè deixa molta imaginació, i hi ha moltes coses que s’intueixen.”—La Mañana
“Una invitació als qui aprecien la literatura reflectint-se en una obra literària. Un text literari que excel·leix per un llenguatge metafòric i que suggereix imatges capaces de revelar escenes quotidianes, però que la vida, plena de múltiples possibilitats, no ens permet veure.”—Resonancias literarias
“El llibre conta la història d’Anna, una escriptora, i el món i la vida de les persones que l’envolten. Anna viu la seva vida literària com la real, pateix una mena d’esquizofrènia quan els personatges dels seus llibres xoquen amb la seva vida en el seu anhel de veure la llum.”—Debbie Garrick, Traductora
“Una obra que mostra la feina ben feta de l’autora i, a més, el maneig de l’eina essencial de tot novel·lista: el llenguatge. Un lúcid artefacte literari que de ben segur satisfarà el divers gust del lector contemporani.”—Letralia

Un llibre intel·ligentment vital que evidencia l’excepcional talent d’observació de Núria Añó i anima al lector a trobar respostes pròpies.”—Sarah Raabe, Traductora
NÚRIA AÑÓ (Lleida, 1973) compagina l’escriptura amb la traducció, a més de la participació en col·loquis internacionals, on sol parlar de la seva obra, de creació literària, cinema, ciutats o bé analitza l’obra d’Elfriede Jelinek, Patricia Highsmith, Karen Blixen, Salka Viertel, Alexandre Dumas (fill) o Franz Werfel. Part de les seves novel·les, relats i assaigs han estat traduïts al castellà, francès, anglès, italià, alemany, polonès, xinès, letó, portuguès, neerlandès, grec, àrab i romanès.

About Núvols baixos:
La Gabriele és una actriu que, a les acaballes de la seva carrera, emprèn un viatge a la ciutat on va passar l’adolescència. La seva visita sobtada agafa una mica desprevingudes dues de les seves amigues, que veuen en ella una mena d’escapatòria a molts dies grisos i monòtons. També l’actriu podria intuir a través d’elles la vida que hauria pogut tenir.
A canvi, el pes de la fama l’envolta des de fa quaranta anys i només una cosa sembla evident: aquest viatge desperta velles passions i altera les vides de tots aquells que visita.
“El que Núria Añó ens presenta en el seu llibre és un tros de la vida real, disseccionat amb el fi bisturí de la seva escriptura. Hi ha en l’obra un gran treball fet sobre el llenguatge i sobre l’estil. La novel·la, ni per la temàtica, ni per l’estil, no és fàcil, però és molt interessant i constitueix al meu parer, una de les grans promeses de la narrativa catalana contemporània.”—L’Ull crític
