Descripción del libro

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemi Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemi knows little about the region. Noemi is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemi; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemi, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.

El Ancla De Mi Barca

Laura Snchez Stone es intensa, y as empez a soltar la historia de su familia en el crculo de creacin literaria en donde nos conocimos: una catarata de eventos, personajes, ciudades; una necesidad inmensa de sacar ese amor y dolor que estaban buscando salida. Compartir sus avances fue muy grato; constatar su crecimiento como escritora lo fue ms. Recuerdo que en algn captulo, mientras la escuchaba, no pude menos que hacer un smil con El Siglo de las luces, de Alejo Carpentier: el mismo hogar catico sin la presencia de adultos que, sin embargo, mantenan un desorden armonioso. Una historia de...
