Las crónicas de Cranford. Confesiones del Sr. Harrison. Milady Ludlow (Relatos) / The Cranford Chronicles. Mr Harrison's Confessions. My Lady Ludlow (Short Stories)
«Las historias de Cranford enlazan brillantemente unas con otras, como cerezas extraídas de un cesto».
«Casi todas pueden ser leídas como cuentos independientes, pero en su conjunto forman una narración suficientemente sólida como para estar muy lejos de ser consideradas una mera sucesión de relatos. Si algo unifica todas las historias que se cuentan es, sin duda, la ternura que late en cada una de ellas: la de la mujer madura que recupera a un amor de juventud al que abandonó para cuidar a su hermana enferma; la solterona que, ablandada por la muerte de un viejo amor, autoriza a su criada a responder a los requiebros de un pretendiente; la del chiquillo descarriado que huye de la casa tras una inopinada paliza de su padre, de la que el hombre se arrepiente de por vida…» – del prólogo de Marta Rivera de la Cruz
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“The stories in Cranford are brilliantly interwoven, like cherries drawn from a basket.”
“Most of them can be read as standalone tales, yet together they form a narrative solid enough to be far from a mere succession of anecdotes. If there’s something that unites all the stories, it’s undoubtedly the tenderness that pulses through each one: the mature woman who reunites with a long-lost love she once left behind to care for her ill sister; the spinster who, softened by the death of an old flame, allows her maid to respond to a suitor’s advances; the wayward boy who runs away after an unexpected beating from his father—a moment the man regrets for the rest of his life…” – from the foreword by Marta Rivera de la Cruz
