Chargée d'écrire une préface pour l'extraordinaire journal que Marie Curie a tenu après la mort de Pierre Curie, Rosa Montero s'est vue prise dans un tourbillon de mots. Au fil de son récit du parcours extraordinaire et largement méconnu de cette femme hors normes, elle construit un livre à mi-chemin entre les souvenirs personnels et la mémoire collective, entre l'analyse de notre époque et l'évocation intime. Elle nous parle du dépassement de la douleur, de la perte de l'homme aimé qu'elle vient elle-même de vivre, du deuil, de la reconstruction de soi, des relations entre les hommes et les femmes, de la splendeur du sexe, de la bonne mort et de la belle vie, de la science et de l'ignorance, de la force salvatrice de la littérature et de la sagesse de ceux qui apprennent à jouir de l'existence avec plénitude et légèreté.
