Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I enjoyed reading the book but found it a bit slow. The author did a good job of presenting the grief aspect but found it a little lacking in understanding the dead mother but perhaps that is why we find it hard to understand
Blanca’s mother has passed and her whole world is in turmoil. She has to find a way to cope with her grief. She decides to enlist her dearest friends, family and to go to a different location. She heads to Cadaqués, on the coast. With her are her two sons, two ex-husbands, two best friends. She plans a rendezvous with her married lover. With the ones that she loves she tries to find a way to cope with her mother’s death and try to learn how to live on her own. She has no idea just what her future has in store for her. Join Blanca on her search to find happiness and to see what she can do to survive on her own without her mother. I received a complimentary copy from Blogging For Books for this review.

An irresistible, vivid, and wise story of one woman's reckoning with loss and love Blanca is forty years old and motherless. Shaken by the unexpected death of the most important person in her life, she suddenly realizes that she has no idea what her future will look like. To ease her dizzying grief and confusion, Blanca turns to her dearest friends, her closest family, and a change of scenery. Leaving Barcelona behind, she returns to Cadaqués, on the coast, accompanied by her two sons, two ex-husbands, and two best friends, and makes a plan to meet her married lover for a few stolen moments as well. Surrounded by those she loves most, she spends the summer in an impossibly beautiful place, finding ways to reconnect and understand what it means to truly, happily live on her own terms, just as her mother would have wanted. A refreshingly frank and ruefully funny portrait of a grieving daughter, THIS TOO SHALL PASS explores how our deepest relationships are changed by tragedy, with bonds often becoming stronger in ways we never expected.

As for her lifestyle, friends, ex -husbands, lover (and potential new lover) it felt like a description of experiences of long ago. There was a feeling of disconnection between what she tried to convey as her life in the present time and the people and experiences she was describing. Kind of escapism... or was it intentional? ( )
