SynopsisNina Riggs was just thirty-seven years old when initially diagnosed with breast cancer--one small spot. Within a year, the mother of two sons, ages seven and nine, and married sixteen years to her best friend, received the devastating news that her cancer was terminal. How does one approach the moments, big and small, with both love and honesty? Exploring motherhood, marriage, friendship, and memory, Nina Riggs's breathtaking memoir continues the urgent conversation that Paul Kalanithi began in his gorgeous When Breath Becomes Air. Brilliantly written, disarmingly funny, and deeply moving, El instante de luz is about how to love all the days, even the bad ones. Nina Riggs estuvo lidiando con un c ncer de mama agresivo durante casi un a o, pasando por los procesos de quimioterapia, mastectom a y radiaci n. Pero una tarde, mientras ella y su esposo ense aban a su hijo a andar en bicicleta, cay y se rompi la columna. Una resonancia magn tica revel un tumor sobre su columna vertebral: el c ncer se extend a como sobre sus huesos. Lo cual sugiri que ten a entre 18 y 36 meses de vida. Inspirada en la frase de Montaigne "Quiero que la muerte me encuentre plantando mis coles, sin preocuparme por ello, menos a n, por un jard n inconcluso", la autora desaf a la noci n de "luchar" contra el c ncer, pues no busca "ganar" sino hacer lo que tiene que hacer: cuidar a su familia, comprar comestibles, manejar las finanzas, acudir a los tratamientos m dicos, incluso escribir este libro.
