Love is a luxury we can’t always afford.
This novel reconstructs a great love story beginning with its end, the story of a couple who, like so many others, fell in love, lived a dream, had children and fought against everything - against themselves and against the elements, uncertainty, precariousness, jealousy -, they struggled not to give up, and fell several times. When love ends, the question arises: where did it all go wrong, how did we end up like this?
A relentless autopsy of the desires, expectations and mistakes of a loving relationship, in which deeply rooted resentments, lies and misunderstandings emerge, but also many happy moments.
The book begins with the breakup and ends with the happiest moment, the initial falling in love.
Love is a luxury we can’t always afford.
