In 'Lo raro es vivir', Carmen Martín Gaite introduces us to a 35-year-old protagonist who, after the loss of her mother, faces the strangeness of still being alive. In her search for an agreement between the past and the present, she immerses herself in the investigation of an 18th-century adventurer, while reflecting on her own childhood and family relationships.
