I'm conflicted. This book has made me cry more than any other book has. It got some excellent chapters and some no so great ones that you have to pull through.
I loved it because it made me learn more about the history of Spain, I had to research Franco and Jose Carlos before reading it.

Los libros siempre llegan en un momento crucial. O deberían hacerlo y a mí me llegó en el más preciso. Es un libro precioso, sarcástico, de una prosa limpia y cercana. Pero además es duro, y esconde en sus ironías la más honda de las desazones, una en la que es sumamente difícil entender si uno mismo no ha tocado esa profundidad.

¿Qué tienen en común Sandra Mozarowsky, Wittgenstein, Camus, el rey Juan Carlos I y la vida de Clara Usón? Aunque parezcan no tener ninguna relación, en este relato hilado de las formas más inesperadas, se demuestra que sí, que todo tiene que ver con todo y que una mamá siempre estará ahí, al pendiente de todo el caos. Muy recomendable.

It's well written but it feels like three separate novels instead of one cohesive text. Each of the three parts is rather interesting, but they don't really work together. The novel just doesn't follow through on what it "promised" in the beginning, and the parallels it tries to make towards the end (for the author to sort of make her point) don't make sense because they go against what's been stated previously...
