Synopsis "Quédate a mi lado (in Spanish)"

Magistralmente escrita, hermosa, triste y con sentido de la proporción y del humor. Una novela cautivadora.Cuando el padre David Anderton se instala en una pequeña parroquia escocesa, no todos los lugareños están dispuestos a aceptarle como nuevo párroco. Sin embargo, pronto entabla amistad con Mark y Lisa, y gracias a ellos vislumbra un mundo que apenas acierta a comprender. Pero una sombra se cierne sobre el padre Anderton, y antes de la llegada del verano su tranquila vida sufrirá un vuelco de fatales consecuencias. Es entonces cuando Anderton vuelve la vista atrás para reconstruir su infancia en Lancashire, el recuerdo de la prematura pérdida de su madre y los años que pasó en un internado católico. También rememora su paso por la Universidad de Oxford y a quien fuera su primer amor. Su memoria alcanza hasta el día en que tomó la decisión de marcharse a Roma, cambiando su destino para siempre.

Andrew O'Hagan (born in 1968 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish novelist and essayist, known for his ability to intertwine fiction and non-fiction in his works. He has been nominated three times for the Booker Prize and has won the E.M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2003, he was selected as one of the Best of Young British Novelists by Granta magazine.

Among his most notable works are "Our Fathers" (1999), "Personality" (2003), and "Be Near Me" (2006), all novels that explore identity and human relationships. His novel "Mayflies" (2020) was awarded the Christopher Isherwood Prize and adapted into a BBC miniseries in 2022. His most recent work, "Caledonian Road" (2024), delves into corruption in contemporary London through a narrative reminiscent of Dickens and Zola.
