Rezension:
'Fascinating ... I suspect there are many, many other mothers who are going to inhale The Abandoners. I know I did ... So beautifully translated from Spanish by Lizzie Davis that you forget it's translation, this is rich, vivid writing about the eternal push and pull of motherhood ... Few things I have read lately convey so exactly the sense of loving your children so much you can barely breathe, yet sometimes craving escape' GABY HINSLIFF, OBSERVER
