ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Following her acclaimed literary debut, The Stars, the founder and owner of Spain's Lata Peinada bookstore shares the inspiring story of how she became a bookseller and a mother.

Raised in a household where books were considered "dangerous to your health," Paula dreams of having her own library. Her love for literature drives her search for a new life on the other side of the ocean, where--first in Barcelona and later in Madrid--she opens a bookstore showcasing the works of her favorite authors.

To Paula's surprise, the death of her mother sparks additional aspirations: having a child, feeling a sense of belonging in a permanent home. Torn between responsibilities and countries, she finds new purpose in ceramics. In the garden of Mishal, her teacher, she discovers the power of patient observation and working with one's hands. Her crowning achievement is a ceramic figure of the Venus of Laussel, which she installs in a place of honor in her home. Inspired by her conversations with friends and her beloved authors, from T. S. Eliot to Roberto Bola o, Natalia Ginzburg, Agota Kristof and Marta Sanz, the Argentine author and founder of Lata Peinada brings us a moving memoir about the transformative power of literature, the unique profession of bookseller, and the different ways we invent and reinvent our lives.
