Hoy caviar, mañana sardinas

"Enriched" edition of a novel that, since its publication in 2008, has become one of the favorite readings of anyone who boasts a zest for life, intelligence, hedonism, a sense of humor... and, above all, practicality. These qualities are embodied in the protagonist, wife of the Uruguayan ambassador, matriarch of the Posadas clan and a true force of nature, at the height of such formidable characters as the mother of the Durrells (those of Corfu): a woman whom nothing is put ahead, which the authors remember and celebrate between admiration (for its inexhaustible ability to save all kinds of difficulties) and terror (for its even more inexhaustible ability to get into the most varied trouble). From Uruguay to Madrid, from Madrid to Moscow and from Moscow to London, between cocktails, lunches and receptions, and with a cast of characters including Queen Elizabeth II, Breznev and Nixon, this is a read to be enjoyed by all the senses.
