About the Book

Con una prosa incisiva que combina humor y empatía, Nora de la Cruz devela el rostro menos romántico de la maternidad, y en Duerme, cicatriz muestra el carácter femenino en su momento más vulnerable. Una tarde de sábado en casa de sus padres, el tiempo de pronto se detiene para Lina. Es esa sensación fugaz pero certera de que algo escapa de su entrepierna con velocidad y en el peor momento: eso sin duda es sangre. En otras circunstancias no sería motivo de preocupación, pero en su caso representa una amenaza inminente: es una mujer de casi cuarenta años que está embarazada por primera vez. Reacia a recurrir a su familia, Lina atraviesa el periplo de la seguridad social mientras recuerda las experiencias que la definieron: su adolescencia y juventud, el amor, el sexo, la amistad y un embarazo que no necesariamente ha elegido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With sharp prose that blends humor and empathy, Nora de la Cruz unveils the less romantic side of motherhood, and in Duerme, cicatriz, she portrays the female spirit at its most vulnerable. One Saturday afternoon at her parents' house, time suddenly freezes for Lina. It's that fleeting yet unmistakable sensation that something is escaping from between her legs--fast and at the worst possible moment: blood, without a doubt. In different circumstances, it wouldn't be a reason for concern, but for her, it signals an imminent threat--she is a woman nearing forty, pregnant for the first time. Reluctant to turn to her family, Lina navigates the maze of social healthcare while reflecting on the experiences that have shaped her--her teenage years, youth, love, sex, friendship, and a pregnancy she hasn't necessarily chosen.
