Ganadora del Dublin Literary Award 2019 «Que un acto de tal brutalidad inspire una narraci�n tan hermosa como esta es raz�n suficiente para que este debut literario destaque entre la multitud�. --The Independent «ï¿½A qui�n pertenecen nuestros recuerdos? �Podemos convertirnos en los guardianes de la memoria de aquellos condenados a olvidar? Estas son las vertiginosas preguntas que Idaho plantea�. --Le�la Slimani A�o 1995. En un caluroso d�a de agosto, una familia viaja en camioneta hasta un claro en el bosque para recoger le�a. La madre, Jenny, es la encargada de cortar las ramas peque�as. Wade, el padre, las amontona. Mientras, sus dos hijas, de nueve y seis a�os, beben limonada, juegan y cantan canciones. De repente, ocurre algo terrible que dispersar� a la familia en todas direcciones. Nueve a�os despu�s, Ann, la segunda esposa de Wade, se encuentra sentada en la misma camioneta. No puede dejar de imaginarse el terrible suceso, tratando de entender por qu� ocurri�, y decide emprender una b�squeda urgente para hallar la verdad y as� recuperar los detalles del pasado de Wade, que desde hace un tiempo muestra signos de demencia. Novela de prosa exquisita y contada desde distintos puntos de vista, Idaho es un impresionante debut sobre el poder que la redenci�n y el amor nos otorgan a la hora de convivir con lo incomprensible. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER - A stunning debut novel about love and forgiveness, about the violence of memory and the equal violence of its loss--from O. Henry Prize-winning author Emily Ruskovich
WINNER OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BOOK AWARD - WINNER OF THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED Ann and Wade have carved out a life for themselves from a rugged landscape in northern Idaho, where they are bound together by more than love. With her husband's memory fading, Ann attempts to piece together the truth of what happened to Wade's first wife, Jenny, and to their daughters. In a story written in exquisite prose and told from multiple perspectives--including Ann, Wade, and Jenny, now in prison--we gradually learn of the mysterious and shocking act that fractured Wade and Jenny's lives, of the love and compassion that brought Ann and Wade together, and of the memories that reverberate through the lives of every character in Idaho. In a wild emotional and physical landscape, Wade's past becomes the center of Ann's imagination, as Ann becomes determined to understand the family she never knew--and to take responsibility for them, reassembling their lives, and her own. FINALIST FOR: International Dylan Thomas Prize - Edgar First Novel Award - Young Lions Fiction Award
