Overview
Trabajar. Reír. Ver morir a la gente que quieres. Llorar. Echar un polvo. Cumplir los treinta. Sentirte sola. Ver cómo tus amigas se embarazan. Estar nostálgica. Vivir en la precariedad y, encima, en Madrid. ¿La vida es solo esto?
La actriz, escritora y copresentadora del podcast Keep it cutre, @albantasanroman, debuta en la narrativa con una novela divertida, ácida y tierna al mismo tiempo.
Una gran novela sobre dos generaciones unidas por el amor (y separadas por todo lo demás).
Lula vive en Madrid y en breve llegará a la edad más rara del mundo: algunos de sus amigos siguen chupando farolas por la calle mientras otros están a punto de tener el primer hijo. Además odia su trabajo, pero desde hace un tiempo se ha resignado a él. Y justo el día en que cumple los treinta, recibe una llamada. Su abuela ha muerto.
Era una de las personas más especiales en su vida y el contrapunto que la definía: Lula tan atea, roja y feminista, y su abuela tan católica, tradicional y tan en contra de que tuviera un nombre que no figurara en el santoral. A pesar de estar siempre discutiendo (en esta sociedad tan caótica), Lula envidiaba su fe, pero ahora que ella ya no está no puede ni envidiar. Y su abuela, aunque era una santa, también era muy tozuda y tenía un último regalo de cumpleaños para salvar la fe de su nieta: un billete a Lourdes.
Una novela sobre las contradicciones de cualquier familia, de cualquier joven, de cualquier persona. Una historia para hacer las paces con todas ellas y aprender que son las que nos definen.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Work. Laugh. Watch the people you love die. Cry. Have sex. Turn thirty. Feel lonely. See your friends get pregnant. Get nostalgic. Live precariously—and in Madrid, no less. Is this all there is to life?
Actress, writer, and co-host of the podcast *Keep it cutre*, @albantasanroman, makes her fiction debut with a novel that’s funny, sharp, and tender all at once.
A brilliant story about two generations bound by love (and divided by everything else).
Lula lives in Madrid and is about to reach the strangest age there is: one where some of her friends are still partying in the streets, while others are about to have their first child. She also hates her job but has resigned herself to it. And on the very day she turns thirty, she gets a call—her grandmother has died.
Her grandmother was one of the most special people in her life and the perfect contrast to who she was: Lula, an atheist, leftist, feminist; and her grandmother, deeply Catholic, traditional, and disapproving of a name not found in the saints’ calendar. Despite their constant points of view (in a world already so chaotic), Lula envied her grandmother’s faith—but now that she’s gone, she can’t even do that. And though her grandmother was a saint, she was also stubborn and left one final birthday gift to try to save her granddaughter’s faith: a ticket to Lourdes.
A novel about contradictions found in all families, in every young person, in every human being. A story about making peace with all of them—and learning that they’re what make us who we are.
