Riassunto

Women are at last beginning to talk about their bodies, not only among themselves, but also in print. When I began writingMrs. Blood this was not the case. So many women have come up to me and said, Yes, I’ve been through that tooa messy miscarriage, a still birth, a bad abortionbut I never really talked about itthe pain, the fear, the futility of it all.’”Mrs. Blood is Audrey Thomas’ first novelwoman from the inside.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Mrs. Blood wears her nerve ends outside her skin like an updated Katherine Mansfield heroine—and she responds intensely to her external environment and to her subconscious. The effect is to create a vivid impression of a personality in crisis ... A spectacular tour de force, this."
— New York Times Book Review
