Leitura agradável, igualmente neste livro sobre o tema apresentado sobre a forma de lidarmos com o desgosto e a perda de alguém de forma diferente, e rápida. Não fala de forma aprofundada sobre mas interligando-o om a situação profissional, familia e os filhos de Lilian. Uma jovem viúva que tenta seguir com a vida após a perda do marido e de um esgotamento nervoso, apoiada pela familia.
Para dizer a verdade alturas em que sorri, outras em que abanei a cabeça concordo com as afirmações, e outras ainda em que desatei a rir à gargalhada, não estava a espera.
Sinopse:
Not since Good Grief has a book about a young widow been so poignant, funny, original, and utterly believable. A compelling debut novel about loss.Give grief a chance . . .Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three years ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, she s just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work, and watch TV like a pro. The only problem is she s becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed.At least her textbook illustrating job has some perks like actually being called upon to draw whale genitalia. Oh, and there s that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning can t be much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity.After recruiting her kids and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles Botanical Garden feeling out of her element. But what she ll soon discover with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardeners is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not "
Boas leituras
