!Ping!

Susana siempre compro la idea de tenerlo todo: la carrera como habil y temida consultora politica; el matrimonio de ensueno; los gemelos que corren felices sembrando el terror por su casa. Solo habia que adaptarse, administrar el tiempo y aceptar el sentido natural de las cosas. Pero la realidad es traicionera. El trabajo no admite los medios tiempos; las labores de cuidado te devoran; la exigencia familiar de perfeccion no te quita el ojo; y el celular te atormenta con un rosario infatigable de pendientes incumplidos. En esta novela vertiginosa, Juana Ines Dehesa vuelve a examinar con humor y ojo clinico el papel de las mujeres de su generacion, en un momento en el que se replantean la idea que heredaron de ser madres, profesionistas y figuras ejemplares. Susana always bought the idea of having it all: a career as a skilled and feared political consultant; the dream marriage; the twins who run happily spreading terror through her house. She just had to adapt, manage her time, and accept the natural sense of things. But the reality is treacherous. The work is never-ending, the family expectation of perfection is always present; and the ringing phone constantly torments you. In this dizzying novel, Juana Ines Dehesa once again examines with humor and a clinical eye the role of women of her generation, at a time when the idea they inherited of being mothers, professionals and exemplary figures is being reconsidered.
