Synopsis "Mama (in Spanish)"

A su treinta y un años, Nikki Eaton ha alcanzado la liberación sexual y la independencia económica. Nunca se ha visto a sí misma como «hija», sin embargo, la inesperada muerte de su madre la llevará a una intensa transformación personal. A lo largo de un año crucial se verá inmersa en la pena, pero también en la sabiduría, e incluso en un amor repentino y providencial.

La «gran novelista americana», autora de La hija del sepulturero, nos deslumbra de nuevo con Mamá, su novela más conmovedora.

Joyce Carol Oates
