Mujer de poca fe

Lula lives in Madrid and is about to reach the world's oddest age: some of her friends are still out getting wasted on street corners, while others are on the verge of having their first child. She also hates her job, though she has resigned herself to it for some time now. Then, on the very day she turns thirty, she gets a call: her grandmother has died. She was one of the most special people in Lula’s life and the perfect foil to her: Lula—an atheist, a leftist, and a feminist—contrasted sharply with her grandmother, who was devoutly Catholic, traditional, and dead set against Lula having a name that didn't appear in the calendar of saints. Despite their constant arguments (in such a chaotic society), Lula had envied her grandmother's faith; now that she is gone, she can’t even feel that envy anymore. Yet her grandmother—a saintly woman, to be sure, but also incredibly stubborn—had one final birthday gift intended to save her granddaughter's faith: a ticket to Lourdes.
