This book is exactly what the author says it is in the title, the description, and the note at the beginning of the book.  Despite the "unsentimental" aspect, his love for his wife comes through clearly - in a real-life sort of way rather than the idealized, caricatured way of romance genre books.I like the notes from the people who knew Maite at the ends of the chapters... they give another perspective and a somewhat bitter-sweet counterpoint to the journey through the first year without her.  Bitter-sweet in that they illuminate her loss as much as her specialness.It is very well written.
