A FILHA ÚNICA
Guadalupe Nettel
227 páginas
PROFUNDO ... INTENSO
Este é o primeiro livro que leio da autora e já quero ler tudo!!!!
Este livro é tristíssimo mas de uma delicadeza ímpar.
Com uma narrativa profunda sobre afectos, amores, medos...
Três mulheres em situações diferentes da vida, que questionam, sofrem, negam e amam a maternidade.
Não li muitos livros que abrissem tantas possibilidades sobre a maternidade, como este o faz...
Ser mãe é uma imposição social?
Ser mãe é padecer no paraíso ou no inferno?
Ser mãe é só amar?
ou ser amada também?
O que é que a sociedade e as próprias mães esperam delas?
LEIAM-NO e tirem as vossas conclusões.
GOSTEI MUITO, mas é muito sofrimento!!!
Mas apesar da dor.. há caminhos...

I very much enjoyed this book through all of its stages. The main character felt real, flawed and loving. It is a story about motherhood and what it entails and about choosing not to be a mother and what this can mean. It is about community and hardships and love - so many different types of love for another. I can only recommend this to everybody and especially to people who want to be mothers or people supporting mothers. It touched me deeply.

This was a very good read. It's been a while already since I finished it, but I've kept thinking about what I want to say about it. Surprisingly, not much.
First, I often found the main character/narrator insufferable with her horoscopes and travelling to Asia to be enlightened, but I would like to assume this was intentional. The fact that she doesn't want children was relatable, but she was obnoxious about it.
Second, the actual topic and theme of the book was explored well, thoroughly, and from multiple points of view. This is the main reason why this book is 4 stars for me.
It did slip to being a bit preachy sometimes and I found the superficial acknowledgment of privilege to be just annoying. Still, great book.

Me encantó. Las diferentes visiones de la maternidad, cómo atraviesan estas mujeres un mundo lleno de hipocresía, de violencia. Cada una con una personalidad marcada por su pasado y por sus creencias. Vemos tantas diferentes formas de convertirse en madre, y tantas maneras en que una vida puede cambiar.
Creo que es un libro para pensar, y para debatir. Trata sobre una mujer que nunca quiso ser madre, y tomó medidas al respecto. Sobre otra mujer cuya maternidad la está matando. Y sobre una mujer que está descubriendo su deseo de ser madre, y el camino que deberá atravesar para lograrlo.
Nunca había leído a la autora, y me sorprendió lo rápido que terminé este libro. Me enganchó desde la página uno, y realmente me dejó con ganas de mucho más. Hubo un pequeño hecho, hacia el final, que no me convenció. Pero creo que es lo de menos cuando nos enfrentamos a una gran historia como es esta.
