A NEW MOTHER IS A WOMAN GRIEVING FOR THE WOMAN SHE HAS LEFT BEHIND. A GRIEF THAT RECEIVES NO CONSOLATION. A PLACE WITHOUT ROOM FOR CONTROVERSY OR REGRET.

THE DEAR ONES by Berta Dávila and beautifully translated from Galician by Jacob Rogers.

The idea of guilt in motherhood, the obligation to feel a certain way, the way in which others relate to women's decisions and the loneliness implicit in all the processes that involve taking in emotions that are considered incorrect or atavistic, an enormous isolation that is invisible to others, hover over the pages of the book. It is a story about emotional bonds.

Here you have a sneak preview of the first chapter of the book. So you can whet your appetite.
