A colicky baby. A know-it-all in-law. What is that awful smell? The start of such an amazing family adventure is enough to send one exhausted Mom running… ...but only briefly, and only to the nearby lake shore, with its promise of solitude and serenity. Alas, even this temporary escape is ruined as her peaceful meditation turns into a thorough cataloguing of her parental shortcomings. She may never become the Supermom she pretends to be, but can she pull it together long enough to survive this vacation? Fans of Erma Bombeck and parents everywhere will appreciate this humorous, relatable...

After the funeral, Amina is kidnapped and violently tortured by the CIA, which causes her to go into shock and she has to be admitted to a hospital. It seems that nobody can denounce the conspiracy that is behind these attempts and unmask the large oil companies that are exploiting the natural resources of Africa or holding them in reserve, at the cost of hunger to its inhabitants.

Esta novela y sus voces comenzaron a resonar desde la publicación del ensayo Lenguaje y deseo. La correspondencia de Alfonso Reyes y Nieves Gonnet (UANL, 2018) de la misma autora. Alfonso y Nieves, como son nombrados en la novela, mantuvieron una relación epistolar por varios años, y son esas cartas las que ahora nos cuentan su historia, la historia de amor de dos países cercanos y lejanos a un tiempo, México y Argentina, de dos maneras de hablar y significar al castellano. Y, también, de dos formas de entender y crear a la literatura. (Víctor Barrera Enderle)
