Most Popular Books by Gwyneth Jones

A new collection of short stories from multiple award-winning author Gwyneth Jones; includes her finest work from the past decade and features a brand new story, "Stella and the Adventurous Roots," as well as tales that revisit the world of Bold as Love and also the Aleutian Universe (White Queen etc).

The Grasshopper''s Child is an old-fashioned futuristic thriller, set in the same Near Future Crisis England as the legendary Bold As Love series, about young people taking the law into their own hands, and the savagery that hides behind wealth and power: full of odd characters, atrocious secrets, lost illusions and true friends. And gardening tips. Gwyneth Jones has an impressive track record in award winning science fiction and fantasy, and also writes for teenagers as Ann Halam (Siberia, Dr Franklin''s Island, The Shadow On The Stairs) "Combines the satisfying unmasking closure of a good Scooby-Doo episode, with Gwyneth Jones'' fiery rage against the Establishment and its occult workings. But be prepared: like Heidi, you will want to go back and learn your history as well as explore this gorgeous secret garden of a book." Sophie Mayer, forbookssake

He aquí una novela ambiciosa, centrada, valiente y polémica, en la que las vidas de unos jóvenes que se conocen en la universidad se van entrelazando en un futuro cercano de profesionalismo global y ciencia comercial. Nuestra protagonista lucha por no ceder a la sutil discriminación sexual que padece, mientras sigue de manera errática las pistas de un cambio genético que está transformando silenciosamente los conflictos de género (y quizá la sociedad entera) en algo completamente nuevo.
