Esta novela tiene varios elementos que me gustan: una protagonista que está en una situación límite, o como se le dice ahora, unhinged woman; una narradora poco confiable, un elemento fantástico oscuro y perturbador que irrumpe en la realidad, humor tragicómico. El estilo de Awad me fascinó, tiene una cualidad hipnotizante que te mete por completo en ese estado de extrañamiento de la narración, como un limbo entre el sueño y el despertar. Por momentos tiene algo vertiginoso, vinculado al peligro de lo que en cualquier momento puede perder el control y explotar.
La única razón por la cual no llega a las cinco estrellas es que no me convenció del todo el final. Si bien parece un final redondito en el que cierra todo, para mí faltó impacto. Se desinfla, no se arriesga a mantener el tono del resto del libro. Creo que por ese motivo tampoco logró emocionarme tanto como habría podido. Pero como ya dije, de todos modos me encantó y tengo muchas ganas de leer Rouge, la próxima novela de Awad, y también Bunny, por qué no.
