About The Reign of Victoria; or, the Year That Everything Changed
The year is 1900. It’s the start of an uncertain century, and the Blaylock family of Cape May has a new maid in the household, Victoria. Young, energetic, and fresh from the Our Lady of Second Chances Foundling Hospital where she’s lived her entire life, Victoria is eager for a place to call home—and to remain employed for longer than six months.
Maggie Blaylock, twenty-four and her parent’s only child, is a college graduate with no prospects and a lot of time to mope about it. Her mother is roping her into a courtship with an old childhood friend, she’s growing apart from her best friend, and she has a horrible feeling that her estranged, opinionated grandmother would like to reestablish herself in the family.
As Maggie and Victoria develop camaraderie through their joys and sorrows, they must learn—with a little humor and a lot of love—that although change is inevitable, it doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.

“Una obra dirigida a quienes les gusta leer y se dejan absorber por la lectura, porque deja mucha imaginación, y hay muchas cosas que se intuyen.”—La Mañana
“Una invitación a aquellos que aprecian la literatura reflejándose sobre sí misma en una obra literaria.

“La escritora Núria Añó teje con una maestría que va muy lejos y ahonda en la exploración del individuo contemporáneo.”—Noury Bakrim, Traductor
“La novela trata sobre el proceso de creación literario y describe de un modo sombrío y poético el desgarro interior de su protagonista Anna, una escritora que se atreve a escribir su primera novela autobiográfica—pese a que se enreda cada vez más en recuerdos y nostalgias reprimidas hasta la fecha. Un libro inteligentemente vital que evidencia el excepcional talento de observación de Núria Añó y anima al lector a encontrar respuestas propias.”—Sarah Raabe, Traductora

About Nubes bajas: Ficción literaria
Gabriele es una actriz que, cuando su carrera toca a su fin, emprende un viaje a la ciudad donde pasó la adolescencia. Su repentina visita pilla algo desprevenidas a dos de sus amigas, que ven en ella un modo de escapatoria a muchos días grises y monótonos. También la actriz puede intuir a través de ellas la vida que podría haber tenido.
En vez de eso, el peso de la fama la persigue desde hace cuarenta años y solo una cosa parece evidente: este viaje despierta viejas pasiones y altera las vidas de todos los que visita.
“Lo que Núria Añó nos presenta en su libro es un pedazo de vida real, diseccionado con el fino bisturí de su escritura. Hay en la obra un gran trabajo realizado sobre el lenguaje y sobre el estilo. La novela no es fácil, ni por la temática ni por el estilo, pero es muy interesante y constituye, a mi modo de ver, una de las grandes promesas de la narrativa catalana contemporánea.”—L’Ull crític
“Con su estilo inconfundible, la autora ofrece una visión de la vida cotidiana a través de los ojos y pensamientos de una voz narrativa que se identifica con distintos personajes. Es una sucesión de pinceladas espontáneas y profundamente humanas que, a menudo con un toque de ironía, logran capturar la amargura del remordimiento y la nostalgia de tiempos pasados, pero también la esperanza de un nuevo comienzo.” -Cinzia Rizzotto, Traductora

About Lowering Clouds (English Edition)
Gabriele is an actress who, as her career approaches its end, takes a trip to the city where she spent her adolescence. Her sudden visit awakens something unexpected in two of her friends, who see in her an escape from their grey, monotonous days. Through her friends, the actress sees the life she could have had. The burden of fame has been pursuing her for forty years, and only one thing is evident: this trip awakens passions and changes the lives of everyone she visits.
“What Núria Añó gives us in this book is a piece of real life, dissected with the razor-sharp scalpel of her writing. This work contains great use of language and style. The novel is not easy, either its subject or its style, but it is very interesting and, in my opinion, is one of the great promises of contemporary Catalan writing.” –magazine on literary and comparative literature studies, L’Ull crític, No. 15-16
“With her unmistakable style, the author gives us a glimpse of daily life through the eyes and thoughts of the narrative voices of the book’s different characters. It is a succession of spontaneous and profoundly human snippets which, although with a touch of irony, capture the bitterness of regret and the nostalgia of past times, but also the hope of a new start.” –Cinzia Rizzotto, Translator
About the author: NÚRIA AÑÓ (Lleida, 1973) is a Catalan/Spanish writer. Some of her works, including novels, short stories, and essays, have been published and translated into Spanish, French, English, Italian, German, Polish, Chinese, Latvian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Arabic, and Romanian. Her first published novel, Els nens de l’Elisa (Omicron, 2006) was awarded third prize in the 24th Ramon Llull Novel Award, one of the most prestigious awards for Catalan literature, awarded by Editorial Planeta. L’escriptora morta ([The Dead Writer, 2020] Omicron) was published in 2008; Núvols baixos ([Lowering Clouds, 2020] Omicron) in 2009; La mirada del fill (Abadia) in 2012; El salón de los artistas exiliados en California ([The Salon of Exiled Artists in California], 2020) is a biography of screenwriter Salka Viertel. Núria won the 18th Joan Fuster Prize for Fiction Ciutat d’Almenara, fourth place for international writing at the 2018 Shanghai Get-Together, and has been awarded with prestigious international grants: Nuoren Voiman Liitto (Finland, 2016), Shanghai Writing Program (China, 2016), Baltic Centre (Sweden, 2017), IWTCR (Greece, 2017), Krakow UNESCO City of Literature (Poland, 2018), IWTH (Latvia, 2019 and 2023) and IWP (China, 2020).
Her writing centers around her characters’ psychology, often through the use of anti-heroes. Núria’s characters are the focus of her work, and are generally more relevant than the topic itself. With introspective reflections that are feminine rather than sentimental, she finds a unique balance between the marginal worlds of parallels. Her novels explore a wide variety of topics, delving into important social and current themes, such as injustice or lack of communication between individuals. The basic plot of her novels does not tell you everything there is to know. By using this method, Añó seeks to involve the reader so they ask their own questions to discover the deeper meaning of the content.

About Nuvole basse (Italian Edition)
Gabriele, un’attrice ormai prossima alla conclusione della sua carriera, torna nella città in cui ha trascorso l’adolescenza. La sua visita inattesa coglie di sorpresa due delle sue amiche, che vedono in quel ritorno una sorta di fuga da una quotidianità grigia e monotona. Grazie a loro, l’attrice può intuire a sua volta quale vita l’avrebbe aspettata se non se ne fosse andata da quella città. Tuttavia, su di lei la fama grava ormai da quarant’anni e solo una cosa emerge in modo evidente: il viaggio di Gabriele risveglia vecchie passioni e cambia la vita di tutte le persone a cui fa visita.
“Ciò che l’autrice ci presenta in questo libro è uno spaccato di vita reale, grazie al fine cesello della sua scrittura. In quest’opera viene fatto un grande lavoro in termini di linguaggio e di stile. Il romanzo è interessantissimo e rappresenta, dal mio punto di vista, una delle maggiori promesse della narrativa contemporanea della letteratura catalana.” -L’Ull critic
“Con il suo stile inconfondibile, l’autrice offre uno spaccato di quotidianità attraverso gli occhi e i pensieri di una voce narrante che di volta in volta s’immedesima nei vari personaggi. Una successione di pennellate spontanee e profondamente umane che, spesso con un tocco d’ironia, sanno catturare l’amarezza del rimpianto e la nostalgia dei tempi andati, ma anche la speranza di un nuovo inizio.” –Cinzia Rizzotto, Traduttrice
NÚRIA AÑÓ (Lleida, 1973) è una scrittrice catalana e spagnola. Il suo primo romanzo, Els nens de l’Elisa, pubblicato nel 2006 (Omicron), si è classificato al terzo posto in occasione della 24° edizione del Premio Ramon Llull, uno dei più prestigiosi premi della letteratura catalana concesso dalla casa editrice Planeta. Sono quindi seguiti La scrittrice morta nel 2008 (Omicron), Nuvole basse nel 2009 (Omicron), Lo sguardo del figlio nel 2012 (Abadia) e Il salone degli artisti esiliati in California nel 2020. Alcuni dei suoi romanzi, racconti e saggi sono stati pubblicati e tradotti in spagnolo, francese, inglese, italiano, tedesco, polacco, cinese, lettone, portoghese, olandese, greco, arabo e rumeno.
Núria Añó si è aggiudicata il XVIII Premio Joan Fuster per la Narrativa Città di Almenara, il IV Premio internazionale di scrittura di Shanghai Get-Together 2018 e le sono stati concessi prestigiosi finanziamenti internazionali, come Nuoren Voiman Liitto (Finlandia, 2016), Shanghai Writing Program (Cina, 2016), Baltic Centre (Svezia, 2017), IWTCR (Grecia, 2017), Cracovia Città della Letteratura UNESCO (Polonia, 2018), IWTH (Lettonia, 2019 e 2023) o Lu Xun IWP (Cina, 2020).
La sua scrittura si incentra sulla psicologia dei personaggi, che di solito sono degli antieroi. E proprio i personaggi sono l’elemento più importante delle sue opere, molto più della trama, in virtù dell’impiego di “un’introspezione, una riflessione, che non è sentimentale, ma femminile”. I suoi romanzi toccano vari temi, compresi problemi attuali di rilevanza sociale, come l’ingiustizia o la scarsa comunicazione tra le persone. Spesso l’essenza delle sue storie non viene spiegata: Añó chiede al lettore di scoprirne il “significato profondo” e di immedesimarsi nelle vicende presentate.

„Der Leser findet eine anregende Erzählung, die sich den Gefühlen verschiedener Charaktere öffnet und Sensibilität erfordert, um das Leben jedes Einzelnen in der Erzählung zu verstehen.“ –Resonancias Literarias
„Scheinbar selbstverständliche Fakten, die der Roman zum richtigen Zeitpunkt enthüllt, vermitteln den Eindruck, eine Geschichte in Schuppen zu lesen, in der sich die Ereignisse überlagern, um ein Gesamtbild zu formen.

Tristan Gramont, Lover or Murderer by Sylva Kanderal
He is kind to me and cruel alike. He is my lover and equally my killer, thought Claire. It was Tristan, the talented painter and brilliant forger, who made her life difficult. His whole love belonged to paintings and the rather wild, extravagant nightlife of the Parisian upper class – la vie Parisienne. Tristan enjoyed this life to the fullest – the wine, the smoking, the cabarets, the parties, and the women. He is an egoist, a man who is only looking for fun and games, unable and unwilling to deal with problems and take responsibility in his life. Confronted with difficulties, his cowardly, insecure nature in Tristan takes the upper hand, and thus, control over events slips out of his hand.
Will he find his way onto the high pedestal of fame or sink into the sea of the gifted but unrecognized painters?
About Surviving Gen X by Jo Szewczyk
Dive into the kaleidoscopic streets of 1990s Las Vegas with Surviving GenX.
Amidst the flickering neon lights and the haunting echoes of slot machines, we follow an unnamed protagonist and a battered housewife, both seeking an escape from their tormented pasts. As they wade through the city’s seedy underbelly, they find an unexpected refuge in one another—a bond forged in the fires of a metropolis hell-bent on their ruin.
A potent tapestry of humor, heartbreak, and raw human resilience, this narrative unfolds with the surreal quality of a fever dream. Oscillating between the chaos of a city that never sleeps and the quiet moments of vulnerability shared between its two protagonists, “Surviving GenX” isn’t just a story—it’s an experience. An experience that delves into the desolation of a generation caught amidst the disintegration of societal norms, searching for meaning in a world that seems to have forgotten them.
Join this evocative journey through a decade marked by upheaval and transformation and discover a tale that is once a testament to the indomitable spirit of Generation X and a haunting reflection on the universal human quest for connection.
“Raw, wild, proudly shocking fiction of 1990s Vegas life.” – BookLife Review
