Washington, D.C., 1950 Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, an all-female boarding house in the heart of the US capital, where secrets hide behind respectable facades. But when the mysterious Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbours – a poised English beauty, a policeman’s daughter, a frustrated female baseball star, and a rabidly pro-McCarthy typist – into an unlikely friendship. Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their troubled lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. And when a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?

Title: [Spanish] - Guerrero Author: José ángel Mañas Narrator: óscar Piñero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: En el año 1512, un navío español procedente de la primera colonia asentada en Tierra Firme regresa a la isla La Española. Tras naufragar en la costa jamaicana, veinte supervivientes, entre hombres y mujeres, se ven arrastrados por una tormenta hasta la península de Yucatán, donde son capturados por la población autóctona maya. De todos ellos, al cabo de casi una década, cuando aparezca en la región la primera expedición de Hernán Cortés, solo seguirán con vida el seminarista Jerónimo Aguilar, que se incorporará a la expedición como traductor, y Gonzalo Guerrero, el cual teniendo ya hijos y habiéndose casado con la princesa Za´asil, permanecerá en su nuevo entorno y se identificará con él hasta el punto de luchar, más tarde, contra los propios españoles. ¿Quién era este hombre al que sus compatriotas llamaron 'el renegado'? ¿Cómo logró integrarse en el enigmático universo de los mayas? ¿Cómo vivió esa transformación? Después de habernos deleitados con Conquistadores de lo imposible, una de las mejores novelas jamás escritas sobre la conquista de América, José Ángel Mañas abunda de nuevo en la época moderna y recrea, con este relato absolutamente real, la que quizá sea la peripecia vital más singular de toda la historia hispanoamericana.
