Una historia de amores

Roll up your sleeves and wrap it in love, activity and humor. That is the only recipe (that and some croissant) that this family finds to face a terminal illness. Doubts? All. Pain? Infinite. Love? More, always more. The stunned narrator of this story feels unable to care for and accompany her father. Obsessed with finding references, she searches friends, doctors, books... And she ends up finding the key in the patient himself and his way of being in the world: commitment, kindness and humor. A personal learning that becomes universal when the reader closes the book wanting more and being better. In the background, a pandemic city that oscillates between supportive applause and fierce individualism. And, in the foreground, the issues that sting us the most: motherhood, the couple and friendship; family roles, dignity and the public; mental health, loneliness and decadence... All treated with an extraordinary lucidity, a luminous style and a subtle irony. A book full of truth, empathy and tenderness. A delicious story that becomes an essential guide full of hope to face life to the end.
