| Annotation | "This is a novel that tells us about generational failures, courage, and true love. A story about two women who, at the most unexpected moment, will share their past and their present, looking for their salvation in each other. Sofia is a thirty-something woman who is not having her best moment. Recently divorced and unemployed, she decides to move to her grandmother Julia's house to take care of her and also, save the rent she cannot afford. What at first is a desperate solution soon becomes a special relationship of coexistence between an increasingly ill old woman, who wants to tell her life story before her time runs out, and a granddaughter who, page after page, will realize how much she needs to hear that story. The grandmother's extraordinary experiences during the Civil War, when she risked her life as part of a resistance group while the man she loved was imprisoned, come together in this novel to reflect - full of tenderness and sadness, but also humor - the routine of these two women who share a few days that they know will be their last. Drawing on her own family history, the author crafts a novel that jumps back and forth from the present day to the past, to tell us two stories that may have always been one." -- Translation provided by NLS. -- Unrated.

| "Esta es una novela que nos habla de fracasos generacionales, valentías como ya no quedan y amores de verdad. Una historia sobre dos mujeres que, en el momento más inesperado, compartirán su pasado y su presente, buscando la una en la otra su tabla de salvación. Sofía es una treintañera que no atraviesa su mejor momento. Recién divorciada y en el paro, decide mudarse a casa de su abuela Julia para cuidarla y, de paso, ahorrarse el alquiler que no puede pagar. Lo que al principio es una solución desesperada se convierte pronto en una especial relación de convivencia entre una anciana cada vez más enferma, que desea narrar su vida antes de que se le acabe el tiempo, y una nieta que, página tras página, irá dándose cuenta de cómo necesita escuchar ese relato. Las extraordinarias vivencias de la abuela durante la Guerra Civil, cuando arriesgó su vida como parte de un grupo de resistencia mientras el hombre al que amaba estaba preso, se unen en esta novela al reflejo -lleno de ternura y tristeza, pero también de humor- de la rutina de estas dos mujeres que comparten unos días que saben que serán los últimos. Basándose en la historia de su propia familia, la autora trenza una novela que salta una y otra vez de la actualidad al pasado, para contarnos dos historias que tal vez hayan sido siempre una sola." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Sin calificación.
