no recuerdo por qué le había dado 4 estrellas pero cuanto más lo pienso creo que es los mejores que he leido
sigo sorprendida de la sinceridad con la que está escrito, la forma en que habla de las emociones, el cansancio, la maternidad, el divorcio, la línea de tiempo yendo de un lado a otro, la mezcla entre lo material y lo fantástico, el cansancio, el acostumbrarse, la soledad, los comentarios ajenos haciéndome acordar a comentarios que he recibido yo misma tantas veces a pesar de vivir en un tiempo y sociedad totalmente diferentes, el miedo, pero también la luz, el amor, la independencia
es una historia fuerte pero está escrita de una forma hermosa que me hizo sentir muchísima calma, y espero leer otros libros de la autora en breves
comentario aparte, me hizo acordar a pechos y huevos de Mieko Kawakami y me sorprendió sabiendo que es un libro escrito en los 70's

This was depressing. Some parts were okay, some parts were boring.
