Este libro se enmarca en la más rabiosa y dolorosa actualidad: la autora escribe desde la certeza de ser sólo una más de entre los millones de personas en duelo, sobre las dimensiones culturales y familiares del mismo y, también, sobre la soledad y la ira inherentes a él.

En el mismo formato que Todos deberíamos ser feministas, el lector lo atesorará y compartirá más que nunca.
