Ganador del International Impact Book Award 2025 (Colección de Relatos)¿Qué pasaría si cada mirada robada, cada cicatriz a medio sanar y cada ¿qué hubiera pasado si...? de madrugada tuviera su propia historia?En Scarlet Yearnings: Doce Cuentos de Amor y Deseo, doce historias revelan el universo íntimo de mujeres negras y afrocaribeñas que buscan el amor en todas sus formas: inacabado, complicado, esperanzador y real. Estos no son cuentos de hadas sobre el momento perfecto o conexiones sin esfuerzo. Son historias de un deseo que arrastra, matrimonios que se tensan y amores que llegan demasiado tarde, de formas extrañas o que, a veces, no llegan en absoluto.Con escenarios que transitan entre Harlem, el Caribe y mundos imaginados que se sienten íntimamente familiares, esta colección explora qué significa seguir deseando amar cuando la experiencia te ha enseñado a ser cautelosa. Desde la ejecutiva que confronta las mentiras de su matrimonio hasta la viuda que descubre una segunda oportunidad, cada mujer enfrenta un momento decisivo: cuando el anhelo choca con la verdad, y el corazón debe decidir qué está dispuesto a seguir cargando.Visceral, íntima y profundamente humana, Scarlet Yearnings no promete finales perfectos, sino algo más poderoso: la verdad de mujeres que siguen luchando, sanando y esperando, sin soltar jamás su propia dignidad.Los lectores adoran Scarlet Yearnings por:Historias que se sienten como conversaciones íntimas que no debías escuchar.Perspectivas negras, afrocaribeñas y multiculturales trazadas con cuidado y especificidad.Lecturas completas y emocionalmente satisfactorias en menos de diez minutos.Una mezcla perfecta de realismo, ternura, humor y sorpresas silenciosas.Temas que invitan a la reflexión sobre el amor, el matrimonio, la pérdida, la identidad y las segundas oportunidades.Ya sea que te atraiga el dolor del primer amor, la tensión del deseo dentro de una relación de años, o el tirón de algo casi místico, Scarlet Yearnings ofrece doce formas distintas de encontrarte con el amor -y contigo misma- en cada página.Si crees que el amor rara vez es simple pero siempre vale la pena examinarlo, esta colección es para ti.
