Overview

La Deseada es una exploración valiente y desprejuiciada de los orígenes más allá de las confidencias familiares, las medias verdades, la libertad y el amor, ganadora del prestigioso Prix Carbet de la Caraïbe en 1997. Un relato poderoso de Maryse Condé, Premio Nobel Alternativo 2018 y un referente excepcional de la literatura contemporánea en lengua francesa. ¿Qué sucede cuando se ha de crecer en medio del dolor y la falta de identidad? ¿Cómo se puede vivir en el misterio y la inquietud de no tener una historia que contar? En La Deseada Maryse Condé responde a estas preguntas a través del relato de tres generaciones de mujeres isleñas unidas por la fuerza de la sangre, los abusos y la violencia. Esta novela es también el viaje que inicia Marie-Noëlle desde Guadalupe hasta Francia, pasando por EE. UU., para unir las piezas del puzle de su individualidad dejando a un lado las versiones de su madre Reynalda, su abuela Nina y su nodriza Ranélise. Con maternidades no deseadas y hombres de dudosa moral, La Deseada responde a un grito particular: solo desde la invención de un lenguaje propio se empieza a vivir.
