La primera y esperada novela de una gran autora: el retrato de la encrucijada vital de una mujer.«Marta Orriols tiene la capacidad de fijar con palabras la fugacidad y lo imprevisto de las circunstancias cotidianas.».- Ponç Puigdevall, El País «El odio y el amor a veces se acoplan en una sola bola, como gotas de mercurio, y de la amalgama surge un sentimiento pesante y tóxico y extrañamente añorado. Eso es lo que irrita. La añoranza, a pesar de todo.» Paula Cid es una neonatóloga de cuarenta y dos años con una vida ordenada. Apasionada por su trabajo e inmersa en la rutina de una relación sentimental que se resquebraja, pierde a su pareja en un accidente de tráfico pocas horas después de que él la invite a almorzar para comunicarle que, tras quince años de matrimonio, hay otra mujer en su vida y ha decidido marcharse de casa. Junto al desgarro de una muerte a destiempo, Paula deberá hacer frente a la desdicha de sentirse abandonada y sobrellevar no solo el duelo, sino también el rencor. Una figura femenina que aparece en el hospital la tarde del fallecimiento de Mauro es la única que puede dar fe de que este hombre tenía ya otra vida... y tarde o temprano las dos mujeres tendrán que encontrarse.
Con su primera novela, Marta Orriols se consolida ya como una de las autoras españolas más interesantes de la actualidad. Sabe poner la lupa sobre los movimientos del alma femenina y llevarnos del dolor a la ternura, de la sonrisa a la emoción.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first and much anticipated novel by a great author: the portrait a woman's unexpected crossroads. Paula Cid is a forty-two-year-old neonatologist with an organized and uneventful life. Passionate about her work, she now finds herself immersed in the routine of a broken relationship. She loses her husband in a traffic accident just a few hours after he informs her that, after fifteen years of marriage, there is another woman in his life and he has decided to leave home. Along with the pain of an untimely death, Paula must face the bitterness of feeling abandoned and she must overcome her mourning and resentment at the same time. A female figure who shows up at the hospital that afternoon is the only one who can attest that this man really had a double life ... and sooner or later the two women will have to meet. With her first novel, Marta Orriols has proven herself as one of today's most interesting Spanish authors. "Marta Orriols has the ability to put into words the brevity and the unforeseen circumstances of everyday life." - Ponç Puigdevall, El País

Well argued
Format: Paperback
Perhaps I should say at once that giving this slim but meaty volume five stars doesn't mean I personally agree with it. It has been many years since I have subscribed to the substitutionary theory of Jesus' death or the idea that the Bible is anything other than a record of human interfaces with the Unknown. But a review is not the place to argue such points at length. Also, it behooves people who want to think, to seek out alternate and even opposing points of view, in order to test and maybe revise their ideas. Jeremy Treat did not change my mind, but he might have if I held the same view he apparently does of Scripture. He argues well, clearly, and persuasively, and makes a Christianity grounded on this view look at least potentially like a pretty good basis for decent living. There are one or two points that troubled me a little. The concept that Jesus died for us as a community is sound in itself, but if carried to extremes looks very much like the idea that underlay the infamous religious wars and persecutions. Also, on page 86, Treat says: "Forgiveness is not merely dismissing a wrong. My wife and I teach our children that when someone apologizes to them, they should not respond by simply saying, 'It's okay' … To truly forgive, one acknowledges the wrongdoing but chooses to not hold it against the wrongdoer. Forgiveness is … accepting the penalty on behalf of the wrongdoer for the sake of the relationship. It is absorbing the pain yourself rather than seeking to put it back on the other person." Now, to me, this looks like such a clear recipe for Trouble that I very much wish Treat provided several examples for how, exactly, he sees it working in everyday life. Sometimes, as when the apology is a "Sorry" for inadvertently jostling you in a crowd, the simple "It's okay" seems to me by far the best response.
These few possible danger points, however, should be understood in the context of the book as a whole, which gives me the very strong impression of a practical pastor who knows his stuff, makes things hang coherently together, and probably gives useful and comforting counsel. I'm guessing, by his book, that he is a man I'd enjoy talking with in person.

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!
