Synopsis "PEQUE╤OS PLACERES (in Spanish)"

1957, en las afueras de Londres

Jean Swinney esredactora de crónicas y reportajes en un periódico local,áestádesengañada en el amor y, a punto de cumplir los cuarenta, llevaunaávida limitada con su malhumorada y demandante madre.

Cuandouna joven suiza, Gretchen Tilbury, contacta con el periódicoafirmandoáque su hija es fruto de una concepción virginal, lecorresponde aáJean descubrir si se trata de un milagro o de unfraude.

Sin embargo, cuanto más indaga sobre el tema, más seentrelaza su existenciaá(de una manera extraña, aunque nodesagradable) con la vida deálos Tilbury: la propia Gretchen, sumarido, Howard, y su encantadoraáhija Margaret.

No obstante,ellos son el centro de los hechos que Jean está investigandoápara elperiódico, una historia que parece propagarácada vez más vibracionesoscuras en sus vidas.á

Y, aun así, Jean no se atreve a descartar la posibilidadáde probarápor fin las mieles de lafelicidad.

Pero habrá un precio que pagar, y seráinsoportable.á

«El ojo de Chambers para los detallesáinexpresivos alcanza una lucidezálarkinesca. Ambientada en la GranáBretaña de laposguerra, es una historiaállena de compasión y untalanteátranquilo¤.

The Guardian

«Pequeñosplaceres no es un romanceádelicado, sino una novelaconvincenteásobre el deber y el deseo¤.
