Cuando era ni a, para ayudarla a superar la muerte de su padre, a Blanca su madre le cont un cuento chino. Un cuento sobre un poderoso emperador que convoc a los sabios y les pidi una frase que sirviese para todas las situaciones posibles. Tras meses de deliberaciones, los sabios se presentaron ante el emperador con una propuesta: "Tambi n esto pasar ".
Y la madre a adi "El dolor y la pena pasar n, como pasan la euforia y la felicidad". Ahora es la madre de Blanca quien ha muerto y esta novela, que arranca y se cierra en un cementerio, habla del dolor de la p rdida, del desgarro de la ausencia. Pero frente a este dolor queda el recuerdo de lo vivido y lo mucho aprendido, y cobra fuerza la reafirmaci n de la vida a trav s del sexo, las amigas, los hijos y los hombres que han sido y son importantes para Blanca, quien afirma: «La ligereza es una forma de elegancia. Vivir con ligereza y alegr a es dificil simo. Esta y otras frases y el tono de la novela, tan ajena a cualquier concesi n a lo convencional, evocan aquella Bonjour tristesse de Fran oise Sagan, que encandil a tantos (y escandaliz a no pocos) cuando se public en 1954. Todo ello en el transcurso de un verano en Cadaqu s, con sus paisajes ind mitos y su intensa luz mediterr nea que lo ba a todo. Milena Busquets transforma en literatura vivencias personales y partiendo de lo ntimo logra una novela que rompe fronteras y se est traduciendo con inusitada rapidez a las principales lenguas, como el ingl s, el franc s, el alem n, el italiano y el portugu s. Y lo logra porque a trav s de la historia de Blanca y la enfermedad y muerte de su madre, a trav s de las relaciones con sus amantes y sus amigas, combinando prodigiosamente hondura y ligereza, nos habla de temas universales: el dolor y el amor, el miedo y el deseo, la tristeza y la risa, la desolaci n y la belleza de un paisaje en el que fugazmente se entrev a la madre muerta paseando junto al mar, porque aquellos a quienes hemos amado no pueden desaparecer sin m s. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An irresistible, 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 Cadaqu s, 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.
