A review by peripetia
Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel
4.0
This was a very good read. It's been a while already since I finished it, but I've kept thinking about what I want to say about it. Surprisingly, not much.
First, I often found the main character/narrator insufferable with her horoscopes and travelling to Asia to be enlightened, but I would like to assume this was intentional. The fact that she doesn't want children was relatable, but she was obnoxious about it.
Second, the actual topic and theme of the book was explored well, thoroughly, and from multiple points of view. This is the main reason why this book is 4 stars for me.
It did slip to being a bit preachy sometimes and I found the superficial acknowledgment of privilege to be just annoying. Still, great book.
