¿Es esta la vida con la que soñabas?
¿De verdad quieres ser madre soltera?
¿Cómo vas a encontrar un hogar cuando no sabes dónde estar?
Sofía, Irene, Julia, Belén y Claudia son un grupo de amigas treintañeras que viven en una negociación constante con sus vidas. Cuando se reúnen en la fiesta de cumpleaños de Sofía, el evento que siempre ha marcado el final de sus veranos, una serie de circunstancias las obliga a enfrentar las decisiones que han tomado hasta ahora y encarar la incertidumbre de su futuro.
Las cosas que nos pasan aborda con ternura y franqueza la frustración millennial: la precariedad, la pareja, la familia, la maternidad, el cuerpo o la salud emocional. Escrita desde las entrañas, la primera novela de Guada Guerra es la voz de una generación, un emotivo fresco coral de los problemas de unas jóvenes que se enfrentan a la madurez agarrándose a la amistad como su única certeza, aunque… ¿será suficiente para sostenerlas?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Is this the life you dreamed of?
Did you really want to be a single mother?
How can you find a home when you don’t know where you fit in?
Sofía, Irene, Julia, Belén and Claudia are thirty-something friends who are bumbling their way through life. At Sofía’s birthday party, the date that has always marked the end of summer for them, a series of circumstances forces them to come to terms with the decisions they’ve made and face their uncertain futures.
The Things that Happen to Us is a frank but tender look at the frustration felt by many millennials in areas such as financial insecurity, romance, family, motherhood, body image and mental health. In this debut novel, Guada Guerra channels the voice of a generation through her protagonists, whose friendship is the only sure thing as they move into adulthood… but will it be enough to sustain them?
