Resumen del Editor
In 1930s London, a young and promising detective Banks returns to Shanghai in order to find his missing parents. The once-bustling Shanghai of his happy childhood has since transformed into an unrecognizable city rife with danger and mystery. What awaits him there is a dark secret, a cruel truth, and the revelation that his memories may not be as reliable as they seem...
Kazuo Ishiguro is a Japanese-born British novelist, also known as one of "The Three Immigrants" in British literature, along with VS Naipaul and Salman Rushdie. In October of 2017, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world”. Published and shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2000, When We Were Orphans was Kazuo Ishiguro’s fifth novel.

Solene Marchand, the 39-year-old owner of an art gallery in Los Angeles, is reluctant to take her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band. But since her divorce, she's more eager than ever to be close to Isabelle. The last thing Solene expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of 20 years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate and genuine relationship.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.
