Titoli in Donne

Dwanaście epizodów z życia kobiety, widzianej oczami syna, w których zwyczajność nabiera niezwykłego znaczenia. Syn opowiada o matce – czasem naiwnie, jak dziecko, czasem z dystansem dorosłego, który rozumie więcej, niż mówi, zawsze jednak wzruszająco. To portret kobiety silnej i kruchej zarazem, pokazanej w codziennych sytuacjach, drobnych rytuałach i w momentach, które definiują całe życie. Autorka pisze prosto i trafia w samo sedno, odsłaniając prawdę o relacjach w polskich rodzinach, tak uniwersalną, że czytelnik nie raz pomyśli: „Przecież to o nas".

Dans une Amérique des années 1960, où la ségrégation raciale bat son plein, où les jeunes gens sont recrutés pour aller se battre au Vietnam, où les essais nucléaires sont censés affirmer la suprématie de ce grand pays, la voix de Joan Baez, si mélodieuse, s'élève. Tout au long des années qui suivront, cette voix ne cessera jamais de chanter contre les injustices et les souffrances qu'elles engendrent. C'est à travers une autre voix, celle d'une narratrice qui a, toute sa vie, suivi le parcours de la chanteuse, que le portrait sensible de cette dernière se dessine.

Early motherhood is supposed to be joyous, but for Aaisha Alvi those early days were ruined by terrifying thoughts about her baby and family.
