Tres días de junio / Three Days in June

«La mejor cronista de la vida familiar» (Daily Mail), ganadora de los premios Pulitzer, National Book Critics Circle y Pen/Faulkner, regresa con una de sus mejores novelas: una historia llena de humor y esperanza sobre el amor, la familia y la afirmación de la independencia.

Gail Baines ha tenido un mal día. No está segura de si ha dejado su trabajo de forma voluntaria o si la han echado. Es la víspera de la boda de Debbie, su hija, y esta no ha tenido la delicadeza de invitarla al día de spa organizado por su futura consuegra. Para terminar de rematar todo, su exmarido Max se ha instalado en su casa sin avisar, cargado con un gato y sin tan siquiera un traje para asistir a la boda. Pero la verdadera crisis llega cuando Debbie les confía un secreto, del que acaba de enterarse, sobre su futuro marido, que podría dar al traste con el enlace, además de remover el pasado de Gail y Max.

Una novela construida sobre las alegrías y los sinsabores del amor, el matrimonio y la vida familiar, narrada con la sensibilidad, el mordaz sentido del humor y la maestría de la ganadora del Premio Pulitzer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A new Anne Tyler novel destined to be an instant classic: a socially awkward mother of the bride navigates the days before and after her daughter's wedding.

“What a treat.” —Washington Post

“Simply exquisite.” —Liane Moriarty

“Nobody understands human nature better than Tyler. And nobody understands the complexities of love the way she does.” —Boston Globe

“Three Days in June is like reading a hug.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune

Gail Baines is having a bad day. To start, she loses her job—or quits, depending on whom you ask. Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasn’t even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom. Then, Gail’s ex-husband, Max, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay, and without even a suit.

But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband to be. It will not only throw the wedding into question but also stir up Gail and Max’s past.

Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humor, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, Three Days in June is a triumph, and gives us the perennially bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer at the height of her powers.
