Synopsis "Autobiografia de la Meva Mare (in Catalan)"

La vida de la Xuela, de mare caribenya i pare escocès, està marcada per la mort de la mare en el moment del part i el posterior abandonament per part del pare, que la deixa a càrrec d'una dona que gestiona una bugaderia. L'abandó inicial que viurà la protagonista marcarà el desconcert amb què durant tota la seva vida viurà els moments més quotidians. La Xuela ben aviat decidirà no tenir fills i lluitarà per mantenir-se fidel als seus principis d'autonomia i llibertat. Aquest llibre ens ofereix un retrat atípic d'una dona que es rebel·la davant de totes les facetes de l'existència, però sobretot davant del paper que la societat i la família assignen a la dona.
