ABOUT THE BOOK
Winner of the Òmnium Prize for the best Catalan novel of the year
Paula Cid is a neonatologist in a Barcelona hospital, used to keeping the most fragile lives going. Then, on an ordinary afternoon, her partner Mauro tells her he is leaving her for another woman, and a few hours later he is killed in an accident. Only her closest friends know the truth: Paula is grieving a man who had already left.
Caught between mourning and anger, she throws herself into work, into a new relationship and into a stubborn search for what went wrong. Learning to Talk to Plants is an honest, unsentimental novel about the messiness of grief, and the slow, awkward business of starting again.
Translated from the Catalan by Mara Faye Lethem.
