Diez mujeres / Ten Women (Spanish Edition)

«Marcela Serrano tiene el ideario y el corazón amueblados con una firmeza que es capaz de esquivar todas las contradicciones.»—El Mundo

Nueve mujeres, muy distintas entre sí y que nunca se han visto antes, comparten sus historias. Natasha, su terapeuta, ha decidido reunirlas con la convicción de que las heridas empiezan a sanar cuando se rompen las cadenas del silencio. 

No importa el origen ni la clase social, la edad o la profesión: todas acarrean sobre sus hombros el peso del miedo, la soledad, el deseo, las inseguridades. A veces ante un pasado que no pueden dejar atrás; otras, ante un presente que no se parece a lo que habrían deseado, o un futuro. Madres, hijas, esposas. viudas, amantes, guiadas por Natasha, Las protagonista aceptan el desafío de comprender y reinventar sus vidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Award-winning Chilean author Marcela Serrano weaves a beautiful story about the universal connections between women.

For nine Chilean women, life couldn’t be more different. There is the teenage computer whiz confronting her sexual identity. A middle-aged recluse who prefers the company of her dog over that of most humans. A housekeeper. A celebrity television personality. A woman confronting the loneliness of old age.

Of disparate ages and races, these women represent the variety of cultural and social groups that Chile comprises. On the surface, they seem to have nothing in common…except for their beloved therapist, who brings them together. Yet as different as they all are, each woman has a story to share.

As the women tell their stories, unlikely common threads are discovered, bonds are formed, and lives are transformed. Their stories form an intricate tale of triumph, heartache, and healing that will resonate with women from all walks of life.
