About the Book

Which is harder? Killing? Or dying? Abir Nasr is a teenager that witnesses helpless the murder of his family during a mission of the Israeli Army, South of Lebanon. Before his mother and his little sister's dead bodies, he vows to hunt those responsible for the rest of his life. Night after night, Abir's threat disturbs Jacob Baudin's sleep. He was one of the soldiers that participated in the mission while doing his mandatory active service, facing the predicament to fight against enemies he never chose. Jacob, born to French parents, still feels like an immigrant in Israel and tries to reconcile an identity merely granted by his status as a Jew. After the tragedy, Abir moves to Paris to live with relatives, where he now feels trapped between two irreconcilable worlds-his asphyxiating family and an open society that offers freedom, incarnate in two young women, his cousin Noura, rebellious against the imposition of her father's religious fundamentalism, and Marion, a beautiful and vital teenager, for whom Abir falls obsessively in love. Out of nowhere is a journey to the bounds of the consciousness of two men forced to live by identities they didn't choose and can't escape from, whose lives intersect yet again in Brussels, years later, under the heavy smoke of bombing, while an Islamic organization called The Circle terrorizes the heart of Europe. It is a story rooted in human nature and its contrasts. Out of nowhere is a vibrant novel by Julia Navarro, that invites us to reflect upon each of our own certainties.

About the Author :
Julia Navarro: With 6 million readers worldwide, Julia Navarro weaves intimate lives and global circumstance with candid honesty. Despite hanging up her journalist credentials after the success of her third novel, Navarro's "precision of language" gets to the heart of the matter at every line. Published in over 30 countries, Navarro's work conjures universal appeal as she pursues an intellectual and personal passion for authenticity and truth. Whose truth? The characters, the historical moment, her own -- truths that get to the center of our collective contemporary soul. Now launching her seventh novel, You Shall Not Kill, Julia Navarro invites you to reinvent yourself as she does with each work of groundbreaking fiction.

Review :
La crítica ha dicho... «Los sentimientos que se exponen en este conjunto de relatos son aquellos con los que tenemos amueblados nuestros corazones.» - Juan José Millás «La maestría de Eider Rodríguez consiste en revelarnos una verdad que nos asusta porque también es la nuestra. Es un libro buenísimo.» -Nacho Vegas «La realidad no es la forma desvaída en la que la recordamos, sino un brillo de belleza y dolor en cada línea de los cuentos de Eider Rodríguez.» -Belén Gopegui «Con tanta inteligencia como ternura, Eider Rodríguez pone palabras a todo ese desconcierto y turbiedad que a menudo no sabemos nombrar en nuestras vidas. Relatos muy corpóreos, llenos de carne, órganos, dientes, olores y heridas, pero también de memoria, dolor y deseo.» -Isaac Rosa «La buena literatura desvela, y eso hace Eider Rodríguez: ponernos delante del espejo a través de un intenso recorrido por las sombras de nuestro tiempo. Leerla es conocernos, y alivia y duele.» -Elvira Navarro «Eider Rodríguez escribe sin trucos, sin sacar de la manga el as de un final sorprendente.» -Rafael Reig, ABC «Eider Rodríguez parte de situaciones cotidianas para darles la vuelta e indagar en los aspectos más incómodos de nosotros mismos y de las relaciones personales.» -Juan Vilá, On (El País) «Una voz hecha de lo que ciertamente sabe y derecha hacia lo que sin duda quiere. [...] Cuentos a un tiempo suaves y ásperos, apacibles y amenazantes, morosos y ágiles, leales y esquivos, mortales e inmortales.» - Eduardo San José, La Nueva España «A la narración breve se le exige a la vez intensidad y la fuerza de un poema. Eider Rodríguez muestra una extraña maestría en la presentación de las tramas, que hizo que su obra fuera una agradable sorpresa en la narrativa vasca desde el momento de su aparición en escena.» - Jon Kortazar, El País «Escribir bien no es lo mismo que escribir complicado. Si se valoraran en su justa medida los referidos méritos, Eider Rodríguez sería considerada una de nuestras mejores relatistas: sabe mostrar la complejidad con pocas palabras, incluso se permite la brillantez y ocasionales brotes de belleza.» - Recaredo Veredas, Culturamas «Sus personajes no necesitan héroes. No son personas condenadas al fracaso, ni siquiera andan completamente perdidos, ni tampoco muestran su dolor a gritos. La vida es su mayor enfermedad. La vida es lo que les sucede. La vida, y nada más.» - Goizalde Landabaso, Radio Euskadi «Dicen que si la voz del escritor tiene estilo propio, entonces estamos ante un escritor de verdad. [...] En esta colección hay relatos brillantes, antológicos y totalmente sugerentes.» - Mikel Ayerbe, Berria
