This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass

Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of This Too Shall Pass by Milena Busquets, read by Mozhan Marno.

Forty years old and suddenly motherless, Blanca is left shocked and rudderless by the death of the most important person in her life.

To deal with her dizzying grief and confusion, Blanca turns to her dearest friends, her closest family, a change of scenery, and sex. Leaving Barcelona behind, she returns to her mother’s former home in Cadaqués on the coast, accompanied by her two sons, two ex-husbands, and two best friends, with plans to meet her married lover.

Haunted by both the past and the present, Blanca spends the summer in this impossibly beautiful place alongside those she loves most. In loss she learns to find resilience and hope, and what it means to live, truly and happily, on her own terms.

Reviews

  • Should be the hit of the summer. Couldn't stop. Fun, raw, sexy, true.
