Titulo: Contra un mundo sin amor
Autor: Susan Abulhawa
Motivo de lectura: #MarzoAsiatico2024
Lectura / Relectura: Lectura
Mi edicion: Electronico
Puntuacion: 5/5

Susan Abulhawa jamas me va a decepcionar, cada libro leido de esta autora es una joya.

La historia gira en torno a Yaqoot/Nahr como protagonista, quien su vida sera puesta a prueba a cada paso. La construccion de este personaje es una maravilla, Nahr no es presentada como una mujer sumisa (a pesar de su entorno), Nahr nacio con una enorme capacidad de resiliencia con corazon de leona, esta mujer se pondra de pie 50.000 millones de veces si es necesario.

La trama pasa por todos los matices, la rebeldia, el no someterse al sistema, el no conformarse, la valentia de apostar por un futuro y no bajar los brazos, es realmente una historia muy cruda y dolorosa. Es una historia devastadora por momentos, pero la prosa de Susan Abulhawa es de tal belleza que es inevitable continuar leyendo.
Esta clase de libros es por lo que me converti en lectora.

Una nota aparte para los agradecimientos del final, la forma en que Susan Abulhawa se instruyo, lo agradecida que es con todos, dando los creditos correspondientes, Abulhawa realmente es una escritora formidable.

The fight for women doesn't end here.

I wasn't aware of the history about Israel and Palestine.
This is a relevant and important book of that part of history.

Heartbreaking but necessary story of a Palestinian women bounced around throughout the middle east and finding herself and her power in Palestine.  Fiction that makes you reflect on real world perspectives and hardships of people living across the globe.
