La palabra vigilar viene del latín vigere, que significaba "estar en plenitud de fuerzas" para hacer guardias nocturnas. Las vigilantes de este libro son mujeres fuertes hasta en su fragilidad, mujeres entrañables que observan, cuidan y acompañan durante la enfermedad, el embarazo, la alegría y la pérdida. Pienso en este hermoso libro de Elvira Liceaga como un talismán de fortaleza.» Jazmina Barrera

Tras pasar unos años fuera, Julia vuelve a México. Se instala en casa de su madre, Catalina, persiguiendo las huellas de su pasado como una forma de reencuentro consigo misma. En su regreso conocerá a Silvia, una joven embarazada que vive en una casa de acogida esperando el momento de dar a luz y entregar a su hijo a otros padres. Entre las tres mujeres se establecerá un inesperado juego de espejos que nos colocará frente a algunas de las grandes cuestiones que a todos nos asaltan, como nuestra relación con ese origen que es la madre y el cuidado, a veces vigilante, del otro.

Sutil e inteligente, la prosa de Liceaga se pregunta quiénes somos en el quiebre de la cotidianidad... y busca en lo íntimo para acariciar nuestras heridas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The word vigil comes from the Latin vigere, which means 'to be in full force' to take the night watch. The vigilant in this book are women who are strong even in their fragility, endearing women who are watchful, comforting, and supportive during sickness, pregnancy, joy, and loss. I see this beautiful book by Elvira Liceaga as a strength talisman." --Jazmina Barrera

After spending a few years away, Julia returns to Mexico. She moves into her mother--Catalina's-- house, chasing the traces of her past as a way to reconnect with herself. Upon her return, she meets Silvia, a young pregnant woman living at a foster home just waiting to deliver her baby and give him away. An unexpected mirroring game begins between the two women, bringing forward questions that assail us all, like our relationship with the origin of the mother, and the nurturing--sometimes vigilant--of the other.

Subtle and smart, Liceaga's prose wonders who we are at the break of daily life... exploring intimacy to caress our wounds.

Nice Coat Not So Great Packaging
Size: X-Small, Color: A-grey
Nice coat but packaging needs to be improved. It arrived not properly folded and as a result it was completely wrinkled. Took some work to iron so it looked as advertised. Packaging for such things has to be reviewed.
