Fiction. Literature. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:

A witty modern-day classic about two unique couples discovering universal truths about love and marriage from "a wise, bighearted writer" (The Washington Post).
Guido Morris and Vincent Cardworthy are third cousins and best friends. In college they dreamed of writing poetry (Guido) and winning the Nobel Prize in Physics (Vincent). Now in their late twenties, they are together again in Cambridge and on the verge of settling down to more prosaic pursuits. Vincent is headed to New York City to become the Board of City Planning's expert on garbage, while Guido is preparing to take over the management of his family's foundation.
What they really want to know, however, is who their wives will be. Guido gets the first inkling of his romantic future when he spies a girl with the blackest, sleekest hair he has ever seen sitting on a bench at the Fogg Museum. When he tries to flirt with her, Holly Sturgis makes a cutting remark and leaves. For Guido, it is love at first sight.
Vincent discovers Misty Berkowitz one morning at work. Stirring her coffee with a fountain pen, she tells him to get the hell away from her. Soon, cheerful, open-minded Vincent can't stop thinking about his bored, misanthropic, and very pretty colleague.
Guido, Holly, Vincent, and Misty are lucky enough to find love. The question is, are they smart enough to hold on to it? From the terrifying uncertainty of courtship to the dull contentment of marriage, Happy All the Time is a dazzling tribute to the hard work and real courage it takes to create a storybook romance.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Laurie Colwin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.

Fun, and leaves a sweet taste on the tongue. Endearing characters.
  BookyMaven | Dec 6, 2023 |
"Misty's personality was a deliberate creation. She felt she was not unlike one of those seashells that looks elaborate, but is only the housing for a very soft animal. There was no point - and no fun - in committing the imitative fallacy in matters of self, especially when the self you were housing was moved by scenes of ordinary human kindness. It seemed to her unwise to let the world at large know how easily moved she was, so she kept it to herself." ( )

Totally delightful, except for the unfortunate character of Misty. ( )

Segundo libro que leo de Laurie Colwin (le pondría 3.5 estrellas) y lamento mucho que la autora haya muerto tan joven porque tenía una narrativa impecable. Sus personajes están perfectamente bien construidos, los diálogos muy bien armados y hay lineas francamente buenas. Me habría gustado ver cómo se desarrollaban sus historias con más edad...
"Tantos días felices" es una historia absolutamente cotidiana, sin puntos de clímax. Una historia de amor plana, sin dramas ni sorpresas. Tal vez esa es la sorpresa en las novelas de Colwin. Estás esperando a que pase algo más, que dé un giro inesperado... pero no paras de leer, no te aburres, no te cansa.
Lo que tiene en común con Felicidad Familiar (además de lo bien escrita) es este retrato de la familia con la economía resuelta, que se dedica a vivir y uno puede observar cómo se conforman parejas y se entretejen amistades, como nos pasa a todos en la vida real.
Sin embargo, personalmente disfruté más de "Feliciad Familiar" tal vez porque el tema de la Infidelidad (y desde la voz de una mujer) implicaba un poco más de tensión y era menos esperanzadora y positiva que "Tantos Días Felices", que al final eso es lo que retrata: la pacífica felicidad de los días en los que pareciera que no pasa nada. Sí volvería a leer a Colwin en unos meses tal vez. ( )

> Laune Colwin avait un talent fou, le sens des situations et des dialogues. À la fin de cette Vie merveilleuse, on a l'impression d'avoir bu un bon champagne frais et léger.
