No tengo inclinaci\u0026amp;oacute;n a hablar con gente muerta, me espanta la posibilidad de que me respondan. Me rindo. Acepto que hay algo imp\u0026amp;uacute;dico en contar la vida de quien mantuvo su intimidad bajo llave. As\u0026amp;iacute; que me aguanto. Y no pido perd\u0026amp;oacute;n.

Se desencadena un caos fabuloso de vino, m\u0026amp;uacute;sica, risas, que va sacando a flote las heridas y frustraciones de una mujer que nunca fue la persona m\u0026amp;aacute;s importante para nadie. Esta es su historia, la vida de la madre de la narradora.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalina Murillo te lo cuenta al o\u0026amp;iacute;do, te va envolviendo en esa narraci\u0026amp;oacute;n que construye con la cercan\u0026amp;iacute;a de la oralidad. Su prosa evidencia la calidad literaria de una escritora potente que convierte una historia \u0026amp;iacute;ntima en experiencia colectiva. Coraz\u0026amp;oacute;n y cerebro, humor y dolor. Sin dramatismo ni cinismo, van emergiendo grandes temas, la relaci\u0026amp;oacute;n madre-hija, la \u0026amp;ldquo;hijidad\u0026amp;rdquo;, y la pregunta siempre abierta: amor, qu\u0026amp;eacute; es eso.

A fabulous chaos ensues, a flood of wine, music and laughter that channels the hurt and frustration of a woman who was never anyone\u0026amp;rsquo;s top priority. That woman is the narrator\u0026amp;rsquo;s mother. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalina Murillo engrosses the reader in a narrative that has the intimacy of a story read aloud. In so doing, she reveals herself to be a powerful storyteller who turns a personal account into a collective experience. Heart and mind, humor and pain. Major themes emerge, without drama or cynicism: the mother-daughter relationship, childhood, and the eternal question: What is love? Or better, what was it?
