La hija única (Narrativas hispánicas nº 652) by Guadalupe Nettel

nora_d_tinta_y_papel's review against another edition

5.0

Se escuchan las voces de muchas mujeres que dentro de la romantización de la maternidad no pueden llorar, gritar, enojarse, reventar. Se escucha la voz de las mismas mujeres que darían la vida por sus hijos. Se escucha la voz de las mujeres que tanto lo desean y la naturaleza no les permite ser madres, de las mujeres que tanto lo rechazan y lo evitan a toda costa. Tan pocas páginas y tantas voces resonando, ninguna encima de la otra, todas sólo dejando el qué dirán para mostrar al ser humano cansado de que sean los demás los que quieran dictar el curso de sus vidas y de sus cuerpos. Nettel muestra perfectamente el sentido de la maternidad y de la no maternidad en todas sus aristas.
