«Cómo decir adiós» is the humorous novel by Debra Adelaide, published by Lumen in hardback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Delia, a writer of household guides and a mother, decides to write a manual on the rules of dying well while facing a terminal illness. With irony, she reviews books, music, and memories to leave instructions for her family; writing forces her to confront her past and find her own way of saying goodbye.
The translation is by Bettina Blanch Tyroller; the novel was originally published as The Household Guide to Dying and was nominated for the Orange Prize in 2009.
A novel for those who enjoy contemporary narrative that blends humor and family drama; also a common choice for reading groups.
