This is movingly written set of stories about women in Chile. All the women have burdens - they are seeing a psychologist - but they also reflect the lives of women everywhere, not just in Chile. What binds them together is their determination to strive beyond the limitations that have been placed on them - by societal expectation, war, disability, parental or spousal control.
