The author from Alp, born in 1983, has once again demonstrated her ability to captivate readers. Her first novel, Les calces al sol, published in 2022, already sold over one hundred thousand copies, and now, with the success of its sequel, it has climbed back into the provisional seventh spot of the Top-10.
Crispetes de matinada, which narrates the new adventures of Rita Racons after her stay in Atlanta, has made a strong entry into bookstores. According to data from the Gremi d'Editors de Catalunya, covering the period from March 23 to 29, the novel immediately secured the first position in Catalan fiction.
It arrived in bookstores and immediately took the first place in the fiction category in the rankings published every Wednesday by the Gremi d'Editors de Catalunya.
Published by La Campana, this work is shaping up to be one of the major literary bets for the Sant Jordi season. It has surpassed sales of Prometeu de mil maneres by Carles Rebassa, winner of the Premi Sant Jordi, whose publication was brought forward to March for commercial strategy.
Rodríguez Sirvent's impact is twofold, as Les calces al sol, her debut which premiered at the Setmana del Llibre en Català in September 2022, benefits from the new work's popularity and maintains a prominent position.
Other titles standing out in the lists include Peixos by Eva Baltasar in fourth place, El joc del silenci by Gil Pratsobrerroca, and award-winning works such as Passeig de Gràcia by Roger Bastida (Premi Santa Eulàlia) and La segona vida de Ginebra Vern by Agnès Marquès (Premi Ramon Llull). Carlota Gurt also enters the Top-10 with Els erms, winner of the Premi Llibres Anagrama de Novel·la.
In the publishing sector, Penguin Random House solidifies its position as one of the big winners, with several imprints like La Campana and Rosa dels Vents contributing titles to the list. Grup Enciclopèdia and Grup62 are also present, along with publishers such as Anagrama, Comanegra, and Club Editor.
