El Penultimo Sueno / The Penultimate Dream

Fifty years ago, the beaches of Cannes set the stage for Joan and Soledad's first love. Half a century after having gone their separate ways, the two are reunited in an uncanny but romantic way—their corpses are found together, dressed up in nuptial attire. The novel develops as the departed's children search for the missing pieces to the puzzle of their parents' lives, and in their quest they find that their parents' death has a lot to show them about their own lives.
