Un último instante contigo

On the threshold between life and death, the guardian of souls asks each newcomer one final question: “Do you have any unfinished business in this world before you depart? If the answer is yes, you may return transformed into whatever you wish.” This novel, brimming with sensitivity and emotion, brings together eleven stories featuring characters who yearn to say goodbye to their loved ones: a mother transformed into baseball resin to watch her son’s game one last time, a wife who becomes her husband’s favorite mug to feel the warmth of his hand once more, a boy transformed into a park swing set because he misses his family, a girl who becomes the lip balm of her admired classmate’s girlfriend, to whom she never confessed her love. All of them tales filled with melancholy, tenderness, and a delicate touch of humor.
