challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense

4.0

it’s the feeling of being trapped, suffocated. not able to reach the surface. not being able to breathe under the weight of the pressure - the pressure placed upon women at the hands of men to surrender and conform and abandon our sense of self. of the loss that occurs when a man thinks a woman is only theirs and nothing more

this memoir is painful and beautiful and striking

La manera en que nos dejan acercarnos a Liliana y conocerla pega fuerte. Hacia el final del libro me tuve que tomar descansos por eso. Aunque Rivera habla de que en los 80s/90s no tenían el lenguaje para hablar de violencia de pareja, y ahora sí lo hay, y a pesar de la gran fortuna que tengo de que yo no haya sido cercana a ninguna víctima de feminicidio (y qué horrible es que tenga que ser una fortuna), aún así la historia de Liliana, la de sus amigos y familia, se siente personal e íntima. 

Es de esos que hay que digerir un buen rato. Y creo que eso me toca hacer ahora.
