LES CALCES AL SOL
For readers of Jojo Moyes, Taylor Jenkins Reid and Elisabet Benavent.
One day Rita Racons finds herself at Barcelona airport ready to board a plane to New York, where she is supposed to take English lessons, experience the city and find her place in the world. However, she will end up working as an au-pair in Atlanta and taking care of the Bookland family's three children with high capacities for a whole year.
The Booklands are the antithesis of the classic American family cliché. Intelligent, well-educated, and deeply brainy, they hope that the new au-pair will be up to the standards demanded by the privileged minds of their children. She won't be, and yet, Rita and her constant chaos will lead the kids to experience life beyond books.
During her time in Atlanta, Rita will miss her family, dare to do everything, expand her mind until, suddenly, one day, she will find what she has been looking for: her true vocation.
Regina Rodriguez Sirvent (Puigcerdà, 1983) is a psychology graduate and currently runs a small business offering private gastronomic tours in Barcelona. As a writer, she contributes to various media outlets such as newspapers and satirical programmes, both as a scriptwriter and presenter. On the international stage, she has published articles in the journal of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the American Spanish-language publication Mundo Hispánico. In 2022, she published her debut novel, Les calces al sol (PRH, 2022) which has become a sensation on the Catalan literary market.
