«La brújula de Noé» is a contemporary fiction novel by Anne Tyler, published by Random House in hardcover (272 pages, in Spanish).
After losing his job at sixty, Liam Pennywell moves to a simpler apartment. On his first night there, something happens that he cannot remember: he wakes up in a hospital. Determined to recover that void, he seeks someone who remembers for him, under the skeptical gaze of his daughters. The novel deals with second chances and small everyday epiphanies.
Translated from English by Gemma Rovira Ortega. Original title: Noah's Compass. Spanish edition published in 2010.
For readers of contemporary fiction and reading clubs interested in everyday life, memory, and second chances.
