What Does Spotting Look Like On Toilet Roll

The guy next to the tomb: a romance



' s funny, she thinks he's totally insignificant. I have no idea whether it is good or bad, for me it is totally uninteresting. Only she is like her.

that will lately I've devoted to another kind of reading is that it was time that I did not laugh while reading a book, and perhaps, simply, I needed it, but this delightful novel has me really hooked!
Romantic, funny, sometimes irreverent, in some places too realistic. Undoubtedly, despite the apparent lightness, addresses several important issues and makes us think.
But from the beginning.
Desirée, pale and washed out thirty-five library, is often a reflection session at the tomb of her husband, biologist, passed away after being hit by a truck.
The truth is that there has Desirée with him, because in five years of marriage has never really managed to understand his untimely death and did not give no way of knowing who was really the man with whom she was married.
Benny, dairy farmers, was only to keep our family business after the death of his father and mother, whose tomb he often goes to fix the many plants that adorn the plaque kitsch.
The two, who could not be more different, often find themselves sharing the same bench in the cemetery, despising one another, until the day when something triggers the spark.
The love story that arises is incredibly romantic, madly passionate improbably ... full of contrasts! Yes, because Benny and Desirée live in two opposing worlds, two different stars, and not enough good will to coincide different habits and lifestyles. So, if Desirée appalled doilies to the mother of Benny and his gaudy wallpaper, he feels bad about her apartment in austerity, equated with the waiting room of a medical clinic. She can not comprehend that he can not read anything but 'country life', he, in turn, wonders how she can have the house packed with books, and read 'voluntarily'. She sees his clothing 'Da pimp', he compares it to a corpse pushed to the shore. She promises low profile since the idea of \u200b\u200bcooking and doing 'the housewife', he falls asleep to the theater to which she drags him ... I mean, totally incompatible on all fronts. A real culture shock!
But the love is there, and is also great.
The beauty of the book is all there, unparalleled and ironic description of a relationship impossible, taking in water on all sides, but held together by a great love.
To make it even more delicious is the story from two different points of view, which alternate with each chapter, outlining the subtle but inevitable difference between the sexes, which makes the story very realistic. A good
something to think about how to make a report to be of vital importance to the understanding, acceptance and compromise.
But above all to understand that a story should not necessarily be based on shared tastes and attitudes, because the differences, if tackled the right way, serve as a stimulus to grow and mature and improve.
Recommended!

I suddenly came to mind and Salami Zulamit. They are two characters from the Milky Way, a poem by Zacharias Topelius that I was in love as a child, as I understood almost nothing there. Zulamit and Salami are a man and a woman who each live on a star and love enough to build a bridge stars through space. With a fleeting thought I imagined that pulled me and him in turn, who worked with Benny trowel combining star to star on his side while I, my, I tried to jump from one star to another as if they were sheets of ice.
