Biting One's Tongue
Publishing date:23 october 2024
Synopsis:
A reflection on mourning, loss, maternity, and love with a close-knit plot where coincidences and words become protagonists.
In her debut novel, María Leach presents a bold and original narrative proposal that blends genres and plots through the story of Alicia.
Alicia shares not only the maternal womb but also every single word that has shaped her life with her twin brother Tomás, along with her husband Luis and the twins she gives birth to on the same day Tomás embarks on a space exploration adventure.
Alicia’s tale unfolds as a poignant exploration of life colliding with death, grappling with grief and loss, celebrating everyday triumphs, navigating the myriad faces of chance, and learning to move forward when destiny seems determined to anchor us in sorrow.
