─❁ Readings: February, 2022 ❁─
In contrast to my January readings, February's readings enlivened the month not only for the women authors but also for a common situation: bereavement. Every book reveals its essence in its first pages, but bereavement is the central theme.
From the death of loved ones to the loss of our identity and value as individuals, the development of healing in the plots evokes sadness, uncertainty, and liberation. In their unique narrative genre, the three plots make us converge between the situations as we feel the intensity of their descriptions through our personal reflections. In other words, we will become what we read through our memories.
The books are:
◈ Cara de liebre (Hare face) by Liliana Blum
◈ El viaje de los colibríes (The journey of the hummingbirds) by Sue Zurita
◈ La ridícula idea de no volver a verte (The ridiculous idea of never seeing you again) by Rosa Montero
*Books not available in English
The next publications will include a review of the books and any thoughts or lessons they have imparted to me.
Our next reading is coming soon.
Much love,
Marzo
