Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherines father. After Mr Earnshaws death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherines brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

Una novel·la que ens submergeix en la complexitat de les relacions humanes i el desafiament de trobar el nostre lloc al món. El Lluís es retroba al cap dels anys amb la Cristina, el seu amor adolescent no confessat. Esta casat pero tornar-la a veure li fa reviure l'entusiasme perdut. La Laia, una model catalana que fa anys que fa carrera a Nova York, comença a estar cansada de la seva professio, i el que es mes greu, ara troba a faltar casa seva. El pare del Jaume era barber i, des que ha mort, no sap a quina perruqueria anar; sent que si es deixa tallar els cabells per algu altre, seria infidel al seu pare. El Lluis, la Laia, el Jaume, la Cristina, el Miquel, el Sergi... son personatges que estimen, que se senten fragils, que cerquen la seva identitat i la felicitat en un mon canviant. Diuen que no pots enyorar el que no has tingut, pero si el que has perdut. Prefereixo la seguretat de ser estimat que la incertesa de ser qui estima.

Cando en 1968 regresa á súa aldea, preto de Compostela, coñece a Chus, unha mestra que coidou da sua nai mentres ela non estaba e con quen vai iniciar unha relacion de amor que durara toda a vida. O medo ao que diran e a manifestar a sua situacion sentimental durante a represion franquista, provoca que manteñan un segredo que lles afectara profundamente.Cun estilo sobrio e cunha magnifica construcion das personaxes, que van medrando a traves da intercalacion de distintos tempos e voces narrativas, Mulleres que viven xuntas interpela as lectoras e lectores para reflexionar sobre as dificultades e repercusions que a orientacion sexual pode supoñer para algunhas persoas. Unha obra conmovedora tecida cos fios de cores do amor e da paixon, mais tamen con moitas puntadas escuras de frustracion.

Ao entrar na cova de Anboto, nos montes de Euskadi, pódeste atopar coa deusa Mari, unha fermosa muller que habita nela.

A investigacion policial levaralles de Galicia a Euskadi para descubrir que se agocha tras tantos anos de silencio. Que lle sucedeu a Amalur? È posible que ainda siga con vida?

Outubro de 1983; o alcade da vila mariñeira de Cáncara ordena apresar e deter unha vaca por pastar herba pública e a Policía Municipal condúcea ao calabozo do Concello. A noticia do acontecido percorre o mundo, e publicase no New York Times e no Washington Post. A partir deste feito insolito, Fran Alonso escribe unha novela sobre o poder, ateigada de humor, que reconstrue os feitos reais. Cancara e unha novela que serpea entre a fabula, a cronica, a lenda, a satira, a memoria e a narrativa contemporanea, convertendose nunha historia que afunde as suas raices na critica social e que se conforma como unha radiografia das transformacions sociopoliticas actuais. En Cancara, Fran Alonso logra crear unha atmosfera metaforica, lendaria, onirica, mitica e humoristica onde se reflexiona sobre o poder, a comunicacion e a nosa relacion co medio natural. A traves das suas paxinas, diluense as fronteiras entre a realidade e a ficcion, creando un espazo en que as voces dos personaxes relatan unha historia que vai moito mais ala do anecdotico.
