A new crisis/revelation on every page!

“‘Pigs will fly the day you admit you were mistaken.’

I know. When I was young I was perpetually in the wrong and it was so difficult for me to ever be in the right that now I am very reluctant to ever blame myself.”

Are we all like this or are Simone and I just kindred spirits? I feel like I shouldn’t have related as much as I did to these stories of middle aged French women in the 60s?

Este libro cuenta tres historias: “La edad de la discreción”, “Monólogo” y “La mujer rota”. En cada una de estas páginas se desgarra un alma, el alma de una mujer que no ha sabido liberarse del otro, a quien fue confinada por medio del matrimonio, y quien con el tiempo las ha traicionado.


La lectura de este libro no es fácil, y no lo digo por complejidad literaria, aunque el relato “Monólogo” es bastante complejo de leer debido a que no contiene más que líneas sin pausas, imagino que simulando la desesperación de esta mujer; sino más bien por la fuerza de los sentimientos que aquí describe cada una de estas mujeres, desde complicaciones sin sentido hasta dolores causados por el otro, a quien las mujeres siempre tratamos de justificar.

Definitivamente esta no es una lectura para relajarse, es una lectura para auto revisarse, auto comprenderse y aprender a ver la vida y las relaciones de manera diferente.

Reseña Completa: La mujer Rota

I rather liked the first story (The Age of Discretion) more than the last (TWD) and quite loathed the middle story. Simone de Beauvoir write devastating portraits -- the women are strong, proud, and ceaselessly good, and yet are failed and broken by the male figures in their lives. Most of all I appreciated how real the women's thought processes were -- de Beauvoir harvested her own emotional winds and ran them into these characters, and they were more real for it, and their troubles more painful for me to take in.
