Author Inรฉs Martรญn Rodrigo โคrecommends Books on Love and Loss
Spanish author Inรฉs Martรญn Rodrigo has shared two recentโข book recommendations-one exploringโข the complexitiesโ of love and another confronting mortality-offering readers poignant selections for reflection.
Rodrigo highlighted โJacoboโ Bergareche‘s ‘Los dรญasโข perfectos’ as a humorous and insightful take on โขromance, praising its refreshing twist on traditional vows: “hasta โขque el tedio nos separe” (“until โคboredom separates โus”) instead of “hasta que la muerte nos separe” (“until death doโฃ us part”). She โnotesโ she frequentlyโ recommendsโ the novel, but โขcautions readersโค to temporarily set aside any โฃpreconceived notions.
Turning to โขthemes of loss, Rodrigo championed Giani โคStuparich’s ‘La isla’, aโค book recommended by her father.โ She described the novel as an elegant portrayalโ of a father facingโ imminent death and finding solace in reconnection โwith his son. Rodrigo’s connection to the bookโค is deeply personal, recalling โhow she discovered โฃit at Librerรญa Mรฉndez in โMadrid-a refuge during difficultโ times-where the owners grewโฃ to know โand support her.
