tales of women spiralling while questioning and rejecting societal expectations of womanhood, marriage and motherhood are my JAM!

Aunque creo que puede ser un buen libro con una buena premisa y un par de ideas fuertes, en general diría que no me ha gustado. O, al menos para mí, la forma de contar esta historia no ha funcionado.

Me suele gustar mucho la forma de escribir de Elena Ferrante pero en "Los días del abandono" la narración me ha resultado repetitiva en varias ocasiones, llegando a sacarme bastante de la lectura.
