With a witty, fun, and glamorous voice reminiscent of authors like Nora Ephron or Dorothy Parker, Mar a Fern ndez-Miranda celebrates maturity and its challenges.
Birthdays often stir up a cocktail of emotions and fears that prompt us to take stock of our lives in the face of the passage of time and its effects. Mar a Fern ndez-Miranda weaves together a dazzling essay in a confessional and autobiographical tone with prose as elegant as it is incisive. Through scenes that capture the lightness of existence and as the pages of the calendar fly by, the author strips her reflections of all solemnity and candidly dissects the stigmas of maturity without falling into the usual self-help clich s. An honest and luminous book that invites us to embrace our own vulnerability as we blow out the candles on each new birthday cake. Because the chaos of turning another year older is nothing more than the chaos of being alive.
