This book is an autobiographical novel by Spanish novelist and journalist Milena Busquets. Through Blanca's story, her mother's illness and death, and Blanca's relationship with her ex-husband, children, friends, and lovers, the author miraculously perfectly combines the lightness of writing with the depth of connotation. The novel is extremely personal, but uses an open voice and language to broaden the reader's worldview, about loss and mourning, farewell and growth, wisdom and love.
