About the Book

La novela revelación que marca el nacimiento de una nueva estrella literaria. El debut que se ha catapultado a lo más alto de las listas a ambos lados del Atlántico.

Los mejores años es una novela debut sorprendente e impactante de una nueva y emocionante voz. Es una historia conmovedora y de gran corazón sobre la raza y el privilegio, ambientada alrededor de una joven niñera negra, su empleadora bien intencionada y una conexión sorprendente que amenaza con deshacerlas a ambas.

Alix Chamberlain es una mujer que siempre consigue lo que quiere y ha creado un negocio basado en su marca de confianza, mostrando a otras mujeres cómo hacer lo mismo. Así que se sorprende cuando su niñera, Emira Tucker, es confrontada mientras cuidaba al hijo pequeño de los Chamberlain una noche, caminando por los pasillos del supermercado de alta gama de su vecindario. El guardia de seguridad de la tienda, al ver a una joven mujer negra tarde con un niño blanco, acusa a Emira de secuestrar a Briar, de dos años. Una pequeña multitud se reúne, un espectador lo filma todo, y Emira está furiosa y humillada. Alix se propone hacer las cosas bien.

Pero Emira misma está perdida, sin dinero y desconfiada del deseo de Alix de ayudarla. A los veinticinco años, está a punto de perder su seguro de salud y no sabe qué hacer con su vida. Cuando el video de Emira saca a alguien del pasado de Alix, ambas mujeres se encuentran en un curso de colisión que trastornará todo lo que creen saber sobre sí mismas y entre sí.

Con empatía y un agudo comentario social, Los mejores años explora la pegajosidad de las relaciones transaccionales, lo que significa convertir a alguien en "familia" y la complicada realidad de ser un adulto.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 BOOKER PRIZE

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK PICK

"The most provocative page-turner of the year." --Entertainment Weekly

"I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." --NPR

A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both.

Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right.

But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other.

With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times.
About the Author: KILEY REID (1987, California) se formó en el Taller de Escritores de Iowa, que le otorgó la beca Truman Capote. Los mejores años es su primera novela.
