A novel that full of reflections, humor, and irony makes a fierce criticism of machismo, patriarchy, and gender roles with all their implications. It is a story with environmental dyes that highlight the importance of real equality, language, and its power, as well as how complicated are motherhood and the differential treatment that women receive when they are pregnant. I can do nothing but recommend that you run to your nearest bookstore to order the book. It is an essential reading that has been automatically transformed into one of my favorites of the year. --In the Nevernever Beyond its obvious provocative intention, it is a good science fiction novel, with certain ecological dyes and a powerful reflection on the power of language. --Consuelo Abellan, Origen cuantico Feminist science fiction, current and angry, written--as is usual with Elia Barcelo--in a diaphanous, translucent, and fresh prose. --Mario Amadas, CCyberdark.net
