“Ficamos conversando o resto da noite. Era uma daquelas mulheres estoicas e práticas de nosso país, que têm um filho de cada homem que passa por suas vidas e que, além disso, recolhem em seu lar as crianças que outros abandonam, os parentes mais pobres e qualquer pessoa que necessite de uma mãe, uma irmã, uma tia, mulheres que são o pilar central de muitas vidas alheias, que criam filhos para vê-los ir embora depois e que também veem seus homens partirem, sem se permitir um queixume, porque têm outras urgências maiores com que se ocupar. Disse-lhe que tinha se arriscado muito ao ajudar-me, e ela sorriu. Então, eu soube que o coronel García e outros como ele têm seus dias contados, porque não tinham conseguido destruir o espírito dessas mulheres,”

Mi primera lectura del 2023 y este libro me ha parecido fascinante. Clara se convirtió en mi favorita, acompañada de las mujeres extraordinarias que conocemos a lo largo de esta historia. Sin duda Isabel Allende ahora forma parte de mis escritoras favoritas y este un libro que leería una y otra vez.
