Summary

Una novela conmovedora sobre la fuerza femenina y la valentía para encontrar un nuevo camino.
 
Esta es la historia de una familia a partir de la primera generación de mujeres sirias nacidas en México, desvelando sus costumbres, miedos, valentías, y cómo son vistas ante los ojos acechantes y aplastantes del patriarcado judío. Rosa Nissán (Oshinica) es la narradora y, desde su interior, nos desvela sus observaciones de las mujeres de su propia familia y los cuestionamientos hacia sí misma que la llevaron a romper con las costumbres del casamiento y dejar atrás la vida que tenía con su marido e hijos para dedicarse por completo a su máxima pasión: la escritura en libertad y la impartición de talleres de Autobiografía Novelada. La esperanza que nos deja ver es que, cuando una mujer se libera, encuentra, en su propia fuerza y valentía, el enorme placer que aporta pensar y, de una vez por todas, dejar de “hacer” en “modo avión”, como ella lo llama, para satisfacer ambiciones e inseguridades ajenas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A moving novel about woman’s strength and the courage to find a new path.
 
This is the story of a family starting from the first generation of Syrian women born in Mexico, revealing their customs, fears, courage, and how they are seen in the watchful, crushing eyes of the Jewish patriarchy. Rosa Nissán (Oshinica) is the narrator, and she reveals to us, from the inside, her observations of the women in her own family and the self-questioning that led her to break with the customs of marriage and leave behind the life she had with her husband and children to dedicate herself completely to her greatest passion: writing freely and giving workshops in autobiographies. The hope that she lets us see is that when a woman is liberated, she finds in her own strength and courage the enormous pleasure that is to be gained by thinking and, once and for all, turning off running in “airplane mode,” as she calls it, to satisfy other people’s ambitions and insecurities.
