Un retrato estremecedor, empujado por una autenticidad feroz, acerca de la vida matrimonial, la vejez y los vÃnculos familiares.
«En la escritura de Piedad Bonnett se concentran las virtudes que más admiro en la literatura: profundidad y concisión [...]. Lectores del mundo, lean este libro. --Margarita GarcÃa Robayo A sus sesenta y cuatro años, Emilia se enfrenta a la remodelación de su cocina. Su marido lo ha decidido por su cuenta y ella, que solo quiere estar tranquila con sus libros, se siente incapaz de oponer resistencia. Bonnett parte de este hecho cotidiano y aparentemente banal para construir una semblanza de la plácida y peligrosa insatisfacción, y de mujeres arrinconadas por muy distintos tipos de maltratos y silencios. El paso del tiempo, su acumulación y su peso, el aburguesamiento y la vejez (propia y ajena), y la imposibilidad de conocer realmente a quienes nos rodean empapan esta novela para obligarnos a mirar donde, a menudo, no queremos mirar: a lo que de verdad somos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A shocking portrayal, displayed with a fierce authenticity, about married life, old age, and family ties. In Piedad Bonnett's writing I find all the virtues that I most admire in literature: depth and conciseness [...]. Readers of the world, you must read this book. 3/4Margarita Garcia Robayo At sixty-four years old, Emilia is facing the remodeling of her kitchen. Her husband has decided this on his own, and she, who just wants to be left alone with her books, feels unable to resist. Bonnett starts with this casual, mundane, and banal event to build a facade of docile and dangerous dissatisfaction, and of women cornered by different types of abuse and silence. The passage of time, the weight that it holds, gentrification, and old age (ours and others), and the inability of really knowing those around us, infuse this novel and forces us to look where we don't often want to look: to what we really are.
