Por fin reunida en un solo volumen la aclamada trilogía autobiográfica de Laura Alcoba: La casa de los conejos, El azul de las abejas y La danza de la araña.

«Es lo primero que me llamó la atención: la precisión de esa escritura. Y es lo que siento cada vez que escucho a su autora hablar: la claridad de su voz. Esa voz tan cristalina que venció a todos los silencios.» -Daniel Pennac

«Por fin voy a evocar toda aquella locura argentina, a todos aquellos seres arrebatados por la violencia. Me decidí a hacerlo porque muy a menudo pienso en los muertos, pero también porque sé que no hay que olvidarse de los sobrevivientes.»

Por fin se publican reunidas en un solo volumen las tres novelas con las que Laura Alcoba ha narrado una infancia ―su infancia― y, con ella, también la historia de la época más convulsa de la Argentina contemporánea: La casa de los conejos, El azul de las abejas y La danza de la araña. Aquí palpita una memoria viva y llena de claroscuros que nace en 1975, poco antes del inicio de la dictadura argentina, atraviesa el exilio en Francia y alcanza hasta la llegada de la adolescencia en un país que quizá ya sea el propio, pero quizá no.

Esta historia a caballo entre un lado y otro del océano, siempre anhelando una patria imposible, tiene la carga de emotividad que solo el recuerdo de la infancia o la mejor literatura pueden invocar. Ambos están presentes aquí con una fuerza y una finura únicas. Todo un fenómeno editorial en Francia y ya un clásico de la literatura autobiográfica más reciente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Finally compiled in one volume, Laura Alcoba's acclaimed autobiographical trilogy-- The Rabbit House, The Blue of Bees, and The Spider's Dance.

"The first thing that caught my attention: the precision in her narrative. And what I feel every time I hear the author speak: the clarity in her voice. Such crystalline voice that vanquished silence." --Daniel Pennac

"I am finally evoking all that Argentinian madness; all those being snatched away by violence. I decided to do it because I think of the dead often enough, but also because I know we mustn't forget about survivors.

"The Rabbit House, The Blue of Bees, and The Spider's Dance are finally being published in one volume, the three novels in which Laura Alcoba narrates an infancy--her infancy--retelling also the most turbulent time in contemporary Argentina.

In this trilogy we find a still beating, living memory, full of shadows and light, starting in 1975, shortly before the beginning of the Argentinian dictatorship, going through her exile in France, and reaching adolescence in a country that may already feel as her own, but maybe not.

This story astride overboth sides of the ocean, always yearning an impossible homeland, has the emotional baggage that only childhood memories or the best literature are able to conjure. They are both present, showing unique strength and finesse. It is a publishing phenomenon in France and already a classic among the autobiographical literature of our time.

Love how this author writes, BUT..
Format: Kindle
I wanted to love everything about this book. I had this book release on my calendar. I read it the moment it became available. I’ve become a big fan after Marshall’s Blood and Bindings series, and I think she does a beautiful job writing complex, thoughtful characters. BUT. Spoilers below- This book missed the mark in two important ways for me. The first is the intro - this “very proper lady assassin” - first of all - we are supposed to believe that SHE is who the most powerful man in the city chose to assassinate his mortal enemy? Sure. She had killed some unsuspecting guys. But the leap from there to a Fae king with magic? And when she goes to do it- she does it by blindly bumbling around his castle and walking into the room where he is and trying to stab him in the middle of the day? I am willing suspend a lot of disbelief for a good story, but that was a major stretch that made the whole premise of the book feel contrived. And second… a whole dead side of his body? Like … dead. As in.. she smelled the rot. Saw the skeleton and dead mouth and skin. And then … had sex with it? Um. I’m no prude but … yuck. I couldn’t get past the necrophiliac imagery and visual, and it was a major turn off for me.

✨’Would it truly be that bad?' he muttered, and for the first time since she'd awoken, there was a hint of humanity in his quiet words, a crack in that jaundiced shield. Warm breath brushed past her scalp. His arms didn't let go. 'If you ended up here with no way to leave?' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Fantasy Romance 📖 🥀Oh, these moment with our MMC reach deep for me and make me love him all the more! Curse Of The Thorn King is @authorlisettemarshall’s new and utterly enchanting Beauty and the Beast retelling, and I absolutely loved it! This steamy, forced proximity, enemies to lovers story is the first installment in the new Wayfarer Fae series and I fell hard for these characters! ✨I thoroughly enjoyed the unique flower magic systems, the assassin plot, all of fun additions of Lady Lockwell's Handbook of Etiquette, and how that factored into the story. The flirtatious and stabby banter between the two main characters had me grinning like a complete fool as the romance developed….all while experiencing the moments that made my heart ache and even break for our MC’s as the plot unfolded. 🥀As I read Curse of the Thorn King I was consumed by that quintessential balance of angst, tension, steam, COMPLETE frustration (in the best way) emotional turmoil, and swoon worthy moments that my heart has come to associate with the magic of Lisette Marshall’s writing. This authors always makes me feel allll the feels ✨✨It is no surprise that I intimately drawn to these characters and their story. ✨I highly recommend Curse Of The Thorn King to fantasy, fantasy romance, and romantasy readers.

5 ⭐️ / 2.5-3 🌶️
Format: Paperback
I do not know where my original review went so I’m reposting Includes: - Beauty and the Beast vibes, but with a Fae twist - Enemies to lovers - Slow burn - Forced proximity - Standalone HEA There are now two books I love that have opening sentences that reference bars of soap. @authorlisettemarshall ‘s books never disappoint me and this standalone is no exception. I absolutely love her writing style, the unique magic systems she uses, as well as her ability to convey such vivid details regarding things like clothing and places. It really helps someone like me (who isn't a good visualizer) immerse myself in the story. It also MUST be said that Lisette has really mastered the art of writing the slow burn for me. With fun characters and banter, she sprinkles in little breadcrumbs here and there that help with the romance build up and, baby, I'm hot on those breadcrumbs' trails just EATING them up. TLDR; Put this on your TBR.

Fun and steamy read
Format: Kindle
Fun read with some of my favorite things: enemy to lover trope, magic, badass FMC, some build-up/steam, and the occasional glimpse into the MMC’s POV.
