39 editions published between 2005 and 2013 in English and Spanish and held by 2,633 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In 1959, Truman Capote was a popular writer for The New Yorker. The brutal and senseless murder of a family of four in Halcomb, Kansas captured his attention. Capote and his partner, Harper Lee, travel to the town to do research for an article. As Capote digs deeper into the story, he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work, "In Cold Blood." However, his feelings of compassion for Perry Smith make for a troubling experience that would produce an literary account that would redefine modern non-fiction

The central focus in Volver is a family of women: mother and grandmother Irene, her daughters Raimunda and Sole, and Raimunda's 14-year-old daughter Paula. Irene is dead: She died with the girls' father in a fire many years ago in their birth village in La Mancha. Raimunda lives in Madrid with Paula and her shiftless husband, who is malevolent, irrelevant, or absent. Separated Sole runs an unlicensed beauty parlor in her apartment. Their old aunt, Paula, still lives in the village and speaks about her sister Irene as if she were still alive. When the aunt dies, some things change, many things return, and Raimunda's troubles become extremely complicated. She bustles through them with passionate determination, a hard-working woman pulled in fifty directions, making a life for her family, reveling in every emotion but self-pity
