  • "¿Es posible hablar de los últimos días de nuestra vida con ironía, incluso con humor? Esta la historia de Delia, una mujer de cuarenta años condenada por una enfermedad terminal y dispuesta a llenar el tiempo doloroso y extraño que precede a su muerte escribiendo un manual muy peculiar, una guía práctica que va a titular 'Cómo Decir Adiós.' Si existe la manera más adecuada de hornear un pastel, si cualquier ama de casa sabe muy bien cómo tender la ropa al sol, bueno será que aprendamos las leyes del buen morir, razona Delia. Y así, dejando de lado la cursilería y echando mano de los buenos libros, la buena música y los recuerdos más hondos, esa mujer llena de ideas y sentimientos el limbo de la espera."
