Les altres mares

Emma is eight months pregnant when she is faced with the unexpected loss of her son. She had everything ready: the child's room, the clothes, the toys... and all the illusions in the world. Jhanet grew up with his grandmother in Bolivia while his mother worked in Europe as a domestic servant. At the age of fifteen, he decides to cross the ocean to reunite with the mother he needs so much and whom he hardly knows. Natalka is insecure and feels very unprotected without close family members. She lives trapped in an abusive relationship with a violent man who pressures her to become a surrogate, although she is not very convinced of it. In The other mothers, Laia Aguilar, with her lucid and transparent prose, unfolds without concessions in a dazzling story of three women, "the other mothers, the non-mothers, the misunderstood ones", who despite everything will never lose their hope.
