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 In?es 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. --
