David Nicholls Libros

Siempre el Mismo Día es una historia de amor sin fecha de caducidad. David Nicholls, autor de Dulce Despedida, plantea un concepto muy original: tomar como referencia el día en que se conoció una pareja y observar a lo largo de veinte años, todos los 15 de julio, cómo se encuentra esa relación; qué cosas han cambiado para bien y para mal. Siempre el mismo día nos habla sobre el paso del tiempo y las dificultades para mantenernos fieles a nosotros mismos pero, sobre todo, nos relata una poderosa historia de amor.

When a persistent mutual friend and some very unpredictable weather conspire to toss Michael and Marnie together on the most epic of 10-day hikes, neither of them can think of anything worse, until, of course, they discover exactly what they've been looking for.

On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar with her boardinghouse roommate stretching three dollars as far as it will go when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker with royal blue eyes and a tempered smile, happens to sit at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a yearlong journey from a Wall Street secretarial pool toward the upper echelons of New York society and the executive suites of Condé Nast—rarefied environs where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve. Wooed in turn by a shy, principled multi-millionaire, and an irrepressible Upper East Side ne'er-do-well, befriended by a single-minded widow who is ahead of her time, and challenged by an imperious mentor, Katey experiences firsthand the poise secured by wealth and station and the failed aspirations that reside just below the surface. Even as she waits for circumstances to bring Tinker back into her life, she begins to realize how our most promising choices inevitably lay the groundwork for our regrets.
