When Mar confesses to her closest friend that she is in a relationship with another man, she does not imagine to what extent this will shake her life and her bond with her lifelong friends. From that circle of friendship, the novel draws a sincere portrait of women who reach their sixties with a great desire to live and love, and with the strength to face losses and disappointments.
It Would Be So Nice reflects on the passing of time, intimacy, and the imperfections of love, and shows how affections can become a way of resisting life’s blows. Written in an engaging prose, it moves forward naturally until the end.
“The novel has stood inside me for many days after reading it.” Silvia Soler
