An irrestible, vivid, and wise story of one woman’s reckoning with loss and love.
Blanca is forty years old and motherless. Shaken by the unexpected death of the most important person in her life, she suddenly realizes that she has no idea what her future will look like.
To ease her dizzying grief and confusion, Blanca turns to her dearest friends, her closest family, and a change of scenery. Leaving Barcelona behind, she returns to Cadaqués, on the coast, accompanied by her two sons, two ex-husbands, and two best friends, and makes a plan to meet her married lover for a few stolen moments as well. Surrounded by those she loves most, she spends the summer in an impossibly beautiful place, finding ways to reconnect and understand what it means to truly, happily live on her own terms, just as her mother would have wanted.
A refreshingly frank and ruefully funny portrait of a grieving daughter, THIS TOO SHALL PASS explores how our deepest relationships are changed by tragedy, with bonds often becoming stronger in ways we never expected.

散文般的结构，在深圳的西西弗书店看到中文译本，说什么怎么感人。找来英文版，没觉得咋地，不过就是一个丧母的中年女人写给母亲的如果在失去母亲后，面对loss的心境而已。

西班牙的畅销小说，英文翻译版其实还不错诶，零碎松散，没啥很多实质性的内容，居然很好读，算是合格的夏日闲书
