Nuevas adquisiciones

Está más que claro que no puedo ir a una librería y menos si hay grandísimas ofertas. Ayer, dando un paseo por las calles de Wimbledon con algunos au pairs descubrimos una librería y allá que fuimos. No podía creer que había libros por 1 pound y demás descuentos.

Dimos una vuelta por el interior de la tienda y no pude resistirme. Sé que los libros están en inglés y me van a costar un poco hacerme con ellos (todavía tengo libros pendientes de editoriales que espero no tardar en leerlos). Y así fue como por 6 pounds me llevé dos libros a mi casa.

Aquí os dejo los libros con su sinopsis. Siento no haberlos encontrado en español.

Sinopsis: ‘Terrie and Paul are two of the bravest people I have ever met. I have only shared the briefest glimpse into the true horrors this brother and sister have endured, but I rarely come across cases this bad. After the unspeakable abuse and shocking betrayals, two incredible human beings came through – to inspire us all.’

Sara Payne OBE, co-founder of Phoenix Survivors

Terrie and Paul’s step-father had been living with them for six months when the abuse and grooming began. What started as innocent conversations and goodnight kisses quickly developed into something far darker and depraved.

Everyday Terrie was assaulted and abused; her rapes were photographed, filmed and shared. Paul was regularly taunted and mercilessly beaten. But despite the bruises and the scars, and the desperate pleas for help, no one saw their pain.

But through it all they stuck together, battling for their childhoods for over a decade and masterminding creative ways to outwit their stepfather and buy themselves fleeting moments of joy.

In March 2013, thirty years on, Terrie and Paul made the brave decision to give up their right to anonymity to tell of the years of abuse they endured at the hands of their recently convicted step-father and raise awareness for the ongoing battle for justice for victims of child abuse. A powerful testament of what can be achieved through courage and love, this is their inspiring story.

A terrifying psychological thriller about obsession and power, perfect for fans of Gone Girl and Before I Go to Sleep. Clarissa is becoming more and more frightened of her colleague, Rafe. He won’t leave her alone, and he refuses to take no for an answer. He is always there. Being selected for jury service is a relief . The courtroom is a safe haven, a place where Rafe can’t be. But as a violent tale of kidnap and abuse unfolds, Clarissa begins to see parallels between her own situation and that of the young woman on the witness stand. Realizing that she bears the burden of proof, Clarissa unravels the twisted, macabre fairytale that Rafe has spun around them – and discovers that the ending he envisions is more terrifying than she could have imagined.
