A hybrid novel, balanced between seriousness and humor, life and creation, certainties and doubts. Enter the mental space of a narrator that is at times delusional and at times sharp and lucid.
Women approaching their forties have to face decisions that will shape their future, and among them there is the question of whether or not being a mother. In this novel, this question becomes crucial: is there enough space, in a single life, to raise a child and create art? The protagonist tries to solve this doubt through reflection and several experimentations, that might or might not be considered crazy… She brings us through her daily, much complicated life, while she tries to write a novel and to be a good mother to a paper doll, at the same time.
