A Single DecisionM.P. Camejo (Author, Editor), Charlotte Coombe (Editor, Translator)

SynopsisBeatriz has devoted her life to her dream of becoming a successful author. At the age of forty-five, her many years of hard work are rewarded when she wins the Cervantes

Prize for Literature. But the achievement has cost her a solitary lifetime of nights spent alone, with only a glass of wine and music for company. It has been twenty-three years

since she ended the wonderful relationship she had with her boyfriend Santos. On her way to receive the award, Beatriz runs into Santos again on the flight to Madrid and

they reminisce about their time together; all those moments that neither of them has ever forgotten. Hearing that she has been awarded the prestigious Cervantes prize, he

asks her “Was it worth it?”

A novel that takes a fresh look at how a single decision can completely change a person’s destiny. The story follows the private life of a middle-aged woman who made a

conscious decision never to get married; right up to what should be the defining moment of her illustrious career. But is it the most important moment of her life?

The Solomon Islands WitnessMarc De Gouvenain (Author), Charlotte Coombe (Translator)

SynopsisAs a result of a series of stunning coincidences, a woman from a far away country finds herself in the Solomon Islands, where everything she has learned in her fifty years of life is turned upside down.

Loneliness is the perfect condition for self-assessment and nostalgia; for questioning the choices you have made over time. Francine has spent far too much time recreating the life of a man she loved

but who abandoned her. The Melanesian climate and the differences in this far-away place reinforce her perceptions and open up possibilities... Once again she starts to feel close to the man whose

travels took him away to the remotest corners of the world.

From this moment on, reconciling mythology with natural sciences and dreams, she is able to cross an important frontier. Beyond it there might be a reencounter or new places to travel. From Asia to

Europe, from Europe to Oceania, why leave, if it is not to complete the quest, the inner journey? Death might also be lurking there.

A complex novel which explores the concept of travelling and why we do it, with beautiful descriptions of the steppes of Eastern Europe, the feeling of arriving to unknown places, of strangeness, of

the desire to leave...
