A feminist read that won’t disappoint.

Both heroines are determined to rebuild the passion and impunity of their youth, vitalizing desires that will bring them to risk everything.

Read an Excerpt:
‘I have some news,’ I try to smile.
I see his mood changes immediately. The wrinkles in his face swap direction, they become menacing. I have the unpleasant impression that he has been through this before.
‘I’m pregnant.’
Eventually, Beppe says the news is surprising. The next thing he says is that he has no money but that he’s okay to be the dad, ‘if your parents can take the pressure financially’.
If Fátima had taken the floor from under my feet a few hours ago, then he’s now cutting off my legs. He has not hugged me or slapped me. He has not said he’s happy that a new life has resulted from our love, from our story. He has not said that he hates the idea of the child either. He has stated a practical arrangement, where he cannot contribute financially and his parents cannot be dragged into things. In addition, he has kindly let me know that he thinks I’m a loser, who could not cope with this on my own and will run back to Mum.
He has also expressed an understanding that he has a choice. He is okay to be the dad? HE IS THE DAD. Point.
