They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . .

Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

A Love Story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Rodrigo Rey Rosa draws us into a universe that transcends the borders of Guatemala because, in the words of the author, “the whole world is a violent place.”

In these four crime novels written between 1995 and 2006, Que me maten si… , El cojo buenoPiedras encantadas y Caballeriza, he also shows his masterful use of suspense. The killing of indigenous people in the mountains and the trafficking of children, the memory of a kidnapping, the hit-and-run of a child, and the burning of a stable during an equestrian festival are all just the starting points for these four stories: a “narrative tetralogy” that mark a milestone in contemporary Latin American literature.
