Set largely between Hong Kong and the Scottish Highlands, Maggie O'Farrell's third novel is a story about family and emigration - and the way you can never escape your family, or their history, no matter how far you travel. Stella - spirited, witty and passionate - has fled London to confront the childhood secret which has marked her life, and twinned her destiny with her sister's. A set of tragic circumstances and a hasty marriage bring Jake from Hong Kong to Britain, where he embarks upon a quest for the father he never knew. When Jake and Stella meet, both their lives are changed forever, but not before Stella's past is brought painfully out into the open. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US is a loving, immensely moving and often very funny look at the way families work, which will live with the reader forever, and bring Maggie O'Farrell to her widest readership yet.… (altro)

Inédita en español, una nueva pieza del extraordinario universo de Maggie O'Farrell: un libro cautivador sobre la forma en que la familia moldea nuestra vida.

Paseando por Londres, Stella se cruza con un hombre que la devuelve a un momento insoportable de su pasado. Este encuentro la perturba tanto que deja inmediatamente el trabajo y, sin avisar a nadie, se instala en un recóndito lugar de Escocia; solo su impredecible hermana Nina, a quien está muy unida desde niña, sabrá dónde encontrarla. Al otro lado del mundo, en Hong Kong, Jake y su novia están disfrutando de la multitudinaria celebración del Año Nuevo chino cuando ocurre un accidente. Stella y Jake no se conocen, pero ambos huyen de sus vidas: Jake busca un lugar tan remoto que no aparece en ningún mapa, y Stella se esconde de algo cuyo significado únicamente su hermana puede entender.

Inédita en español, La distancia que nos separa –la tercera novela de Maggie O'Farrell, publicada por primera vez en 2004–, explora ya algunos de los temas que serán fundamentales en la obra de la autora de Hamnet y El retrato de casada: los lazos afectivos, el peso de los recuerdos y la necesidad de independencia. Una cautivadora historia sobre cómo la familia conforma nuestras vidas, y sobre lo difícil que es, por mucho que lo intentemos, dejar atrás nuestros orígenes.

Two people on opposite sides of the world experience frightening events and decide to change their lives. Stella, in London, sees someone who frightens her. Jake, in Hong Kong, is almost crushed in a New Year crowd and both flee from their surroundings. As the novel unfolds, we come to learn of Stella’s very close relationship with her sister and Jake decides to go in search of his father who he has never met. By chance, they meet in Scotland at the place where Stella had a traumatic experience in her childhood and where Jake believed that his father lived. O’Farrell’s prose envelops you in the contrasting family backgrounds of Stella and Jake and as their secrets are gradually revealed, she tenderly explores their growing feelings for each other.

Well I am copy pasting the greater part of my review from the last book of MO'F I read: Highly narrative and quite a page turner. Contains many narratives of the different characters involved or at least related to the main story. I found this disorienting and I am not at all fond of flashback so I skipped chapters/quite a few of their stories. But towards the end this skillful author has timed the main story and character development in such a way that I had to read the final chapters without a break.
On the minuis side, the accurate & detailed description of the immediate environment, that at times I found too long. Also the overly detailed background stories of everyon's grandmother and mother. Was she trying to build up the psych profile of Nina and Stella. Not successful there, I felt they were just separate stories.
In any case as one of the reviewers said, she makes you care passionately about her characters and I did as she focused on them in the latter parts of the book, staying up to read if and how Jake and Stella get together. ( )

Enjoyed this story but not the structure. Two stories told as non-linear narratives - flitting here and there, back and forward in time. Normally I would abandon these books but Maggie O’Farrell writes so well that you can so easily picture the scenes in your mind. Basically a romance story - will these two make it? I’m not spoiling it. ( )

Jake often thinks of Hong Kong as a kind of overflow pipe for Europe. The people who come here have left their homes and their families for a reason and not usually one they ever disclose. They're all in varying degrees of separation, or running away from something or in search of an elusive element that might complete them. (2%)
Mrs. Yee always spoke Cantonese with him, his mother English, so he grew up thinking it was normal for the world to have a double meaning. (10%)
Stella looks down, looks at the diagram in front of her, at the lopsided shape of the human heart, its twin chambers, at the red and blue passageways flowing through it, seeing for the first time the way your heart is always full of two opposing elements. (30%)
He thinks of them like drops of oil in water: a distinct, cohesive presence, unchanged by the elements surrounding them. (41%)
Motherhood is a clear, prescribed thing. Those nine months you spent with another being pocketed inside you are a lifelong, unwritten contract that can't ever be cancelled. But fatherhood is nebulous, undefined, and can be almost nothing, a mere tailed cell shot out into the void. (48%)
