Ana Obregón and Prince Enrique of England have signed this year the two most anticipated and explosive books in the world of the heart. The actress, with The Boy with the Shrews, and the Duke of Sussex, with In the Shadow, have also managed to lead the non-fiction best-seller lists. For those who have not yet done it, they are two interesting and agile readings to accompany the hot summer days.
Other media figures, whether they are royals, celebrities, influencers or celebrities, have also chosen to explain episodes of their lives by expanding on biographies, but there are those who have dared to publish novels, children's stories or even self-help books based on their own experiences.
The actress strips naked in this book started by her son Aless Lequio, who died of cancer. She recounts the entire illness of the young man, the arrival of death and even narrates his frustrated suicide attempt. She also clarifies the reasons that prompted her to undertake the surrogacy of her granddaughter. Hard and heartbreaking, but also tender and full of filial love.
A book that has caused a crisis in the United Kingdom. The Duke of Sussex shares in his biography, which was actually written by the Pulitzer Prize for journalism J. R. Moehringer, family secrets that have caused an even greater rift with the British royal house. He crosses red lines that can still take their toll, narrating details of his participation in military operations against the Taliban or the confession of drug use.
Love knows no ages. This is the underlying message of the novel that the publicist presented accompanied by his girlfriend at the time, Natalia Almarcha, 21 years younger than him. A relevant difference in age like the one that separated Bach and the soprano he fell in love with and that she ended up being his second wife. A fiction, then, on a very personal subject for Mejide.
The filmmaker surprises the reader with an intimate book that is divided into twelve stories that speak a lot about him. It is actually a kind of self-portrait that evokes different stages of his life, from his native Mancha to the present, passing through Madrid de la Movida.
The Catalan actress, winner of the Goya for Camino, shares her testimony about Alzheimer's and some of the most memorable episodes of her life. Diagnosed with this disease more than three years ago, she recounts her experience and her day-to-day life with a disease that has kidnapped her memory.
The journalist novels the life of Tita Cervera based on real events that Baroness Thyssen herself explained to her over the course of three years. In the end, what was supposed to be a biography has taken the form of a fictionalized narrative due to the conflict between the author and the aristocrat, who has announced that she herself is writing her own memoirs.
The presenter, a regular writer of novels, proposes on this occasion one of those thrillers with a frenetic pace that captivates the reader from the first page. The story is set in Madrid and begins in the Plaza de España in the capital when ten hotel guests fall into the void.
The cousin of King Felipe VI has written a children's story that narrates her own family reality as a single mother of a small child. Therefore, an autofiction that tries to normalize family realities that escape from the most traditional conceptions.
Together with the journalist Pedro Narváez, the designer and aristocrat writes a very personal book in which she defends her feminism and vindicates the role of women in a world of powerful men. The Marquise de Castelldosríus, Baroness of Santa Pau and Grandee of Spain recounts episodes from her life that are little known to her.
The presenter has decided to share his story of personal improvement that allowed him to leave behind his long addiction to drugs that almost ended him. The book is a hymn to resilience and explains how he was able to overcome a self-destructive attitude to embrace a new reality of happiness and inner peace.
The actress makes her debut as a writer with a very intimate book in which she tries to show herself as she is, either through texts that narrate bits of her life or with unretouched photographs. A hymn to life without makeup and a call to value the things that really matter.
The presenter exploits her most literary side with a poetic book of few words but full of sensations and feelings. Deep and evocative reading that reflects on universal aspects, such as love, the passage of time or chance.
The psychologist and businesswoman signs a kind of self-help book in the form of an epistle that she addresses to her children Dylan and Alma, the result of her relationship with singer Alejandro Sanz. She receives part of her own experience and gives tools to gain self-esteem, work on personal growth or live fully.
