So short yet so impactful. Of course I enjoyed the exploration of a mother-daughter relationship fraught with tension and, at times, genuine hatred, but I especially enjoyed the discussion throughout the book that is concerned with the human body and the many ways someone can lose agency over their own flesh. We see this in religious thinking that criticises promiscuity and suicide, we see that in the way society treats those with disabilities and the way said disability robs a person of their control of their body, we also see it in the way women are oftentimes used as mere wombs in spite of what their actual thoughts on motherhood may be. Really happy that I picked up Pineiro's work again. This was great.
