An authentic, exciting and complicit text about life and grief that will trap you from its first pages. You will feel that it has been written just for you, as always happens with good literature. When Rosa Montero read the wonderful diary that Marie Curie began after the death of her husband, included at the end of this book, she felt that the story of that fascinating woman filled her head with ideas and emotions. The ridiculous idea of not seeing you again was born from that fire of words, from that vertiginous whirlwind: "This is a book about life... passionate and cheerful, sentimental and mocking." In the wake of Curie's extraordinary career, reflected here in its most unknown aspects, Rosa Montero constructs a narration halfway between personal memory and the memory of all, the analysis of our time and the intimate evocation; speaks of overcoming pain, of the relationships between men and women, of the splendor of sex, of science and ignorance, of the saving force of literature and of the wisdom of those who learn to live with fullness and lightness.

Madrid journalist and novelist, El País columnist, author of History of the Transparent King, The Cannibal's Daughter and the Bruna Husky series.
