Forrest Gump captured our hearts in the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Forrest Gump, and in the blockbuster film, winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. Now he returns in the long-awaited sequel to the book hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read." A little older, and wiser in his unique way, Forrest is still running—this time straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s. "Whenever I really get stumped, I go visit Jenny's grave. She tells me she's always rooting for me." The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and now Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint, when a fresh opportunity to play championship football puts him back in the limelight—and in the money. But fate turns fickle again, and he's soon out on the road selling phony encyclopedias and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. Forrest's remarkable, touching, and utterly comic odyssey has just begun: in store for him is an explosive attempt at hog farming; his own dubious recipe for adding life to New Coke; an encounter with Oliver North of the Iran-Contra affair; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.

Praga. Verano de 1939. Niebla aseguraba que existía un mundo que se rozaba con el nuestro, un lugar increíble y oscuro. El reino de los Cristales Rotos. Niebla decía que si conocías la forma de cruzar sus puertas, podrías sumergirte en sus misterios y mezclarte con sus habitantes. Gente diferente y peligrosa con un poder extraordinario que nosotros, los tristes, no podíamos ni imaginar. Yo no le creí ¿Cómo iba a tomarme en serio semejante locura? Una cálida noche de verano, poco antes de que la tormenta de la segunda guerra mundial se desatase sobre Europa, Niebla nos arrastró al Reino de los Cristales rotos. Es extraño… pese a los terribles sucesos que vivimos, pese a tanta muerte y dolor, fueron los mejores días de mi vida. Y es curioso, daría todo lo que poseo por regresar al reino de los cristales rotos y cambiar lo que allí sucedió.

La vida de Monique se derrumba el día que cae en las trampas de su profesión. Pocas semanas después de recibir el premio más prestigioso de la Asociación de Periodistas de Francia, la prensa rosa publica unas fotografías suyas en actitud comprometida. Incapaz de enfrentarse al acoso mediático, abandona París para refugiarse en la Provenza. Allí revivirá sus días de adolescente tímida, siempre a la sombra de su prima Giselle, se reencontrará con Paul, el hombre que le dio su primer beso y descubrirá el origen secreto de la tía que las acogía durante aquellos veranos de infancia. Pero su tía le había reservado otro regalo: la llave de un secreter que alberga un diario que le revelará la historia de una joven cuyo único pecado fue amar a un soldado alemán durante la ocupación de París. A medida que se adentre en sus páginas, Monique sentirá cómo renacen sus sentimientos hacia Paul.

Sin embargo, el destino tiene prevista una sorpresa para ellos. Algo que ambos ignoran los unirá, de algún modo, para siempre.
