DORIS LESSING INÉDITA Un memoir «implacable e impecable (L'Hebdo) en el que transforma sus confidencias en espejo de toda una época. « De qué carnicería emocional nace un escritor? [...] Implacable e impecable. [...] Qué impactante, y qué manera tan bella de despedirnos de una de las escritoras más libres! Breve, límpido e intenso .
--Isabelle Falconnier, L'Hebdo En este memoir, inédito hasta ahora en castellano, la Premio Nobel británica evoca sus orígenes para reconstruir, con lucidez y sin indulgencia, la historia de su familia y, en particular, la compleja relación con su madre. Mediante ese vínculo atravesado por la incomprensión y la distancia, la autora traza el retrato de una mujer formada en la Inglaterra victoriana que, lejos de la vida que soñó, acaba en un remoto rincón de África junto a un marido decidido a establecer su propia granja. Elogiada por la crítica como una obra de gran virtuosismo, Hijas impertinentes es «implacable e impecable, [...] breve, límpida e intensa y muestra «de qué carnicería emocional nace un escritor (L'Hebdo). Un texto inolvidable que ilumina la intimidad de una de las voces más destacadas de la literatura contemporánea y que ofrece una extraordinaria puerta de entrada a su universo. Completa la edición «Cómo no ganar el Premio Nobel (2007), su discurso de recepción del galardón.
