A proposito di questo titolo
The author of When We Were Widows turns to life after betrayal in this emotional, heartwarming novel about a woman whose marriage and friendship collapse all at once.
As next-door neighbors and best friends, Claudia and Rachel share everything. But in Claudia’s mind, that means recipes and clothes—not husbands. So it’s a huge shock when Rachel runs off with hers.
If that weren’t enough, her mom shows up at her door with heavy suitcases in tow. She intends to stay until Claudia has pulled through this. But behaving like a typical mother or grandmother isn’t Gloria’s style, and Claudia wonders why she’s really there. She also wonders why she can’t stop thinking about Nick, the husband Rachel jilted for her own, who still lives in the next house over.
It’s all a bit much for Claudia, who, unlike her impulsive mother, has always prized the familiar comforts of stability and routine. Now that those have been snatched away, she’ll have to face her fears and take some risks—for herself and for her daughter.

Everything she never knew was an interesting tale about Claudia and her journey to finding herself again after her hausband left her.
I had a bit of trouble getting involved in the story. There's little action, and a lot of introspection. It felt like a good example of 'time cures all wounds': discovering her hausband left without so much as a goodby with her best friend, Claudia has to pick up her life, and she does so a day at a time, between a lot of tears, and some anger. some moments felt a bit anticlimactic, but I suppose that was probably the author's intention. This is a tale about a real life tragedy, that compared to others might appear insignificant, but is all consuming for the people living it.
I liked that, in getting back to herself, Claudia was able to mend some relationships from the past, and see her life in a different way.
I appreciated the lack of a romantic storyline, even though there's a small nudge here and there to make us think something might happen in the future.
The mexican's references were a nice touch, giving an interesting cultural background to the characters, and a way to break up narration here and there.
Overall, while in the end it turned out to be an interesting read, it was slow, and difficult for me to get really involved with at the beginning.
Good narration, so and so storyline
