Reviews/Quotes
|| REVIEWS: "Uno se pregunta cómo hablar de los temas más difíciles, de los que se callan y tienden a esconderse por su complejidad, su repercusión, o simplemente porque quedan en un olvido simulado; Andrea en “Cuentos Encaderados” nos da la respuesta, con un manejo perfecto de la narrativa y la descripción nos lleva a conocer las historias de esas mujeres de caderas. " Leer Libros "¿Qué pueden tener en común un par de hermanas rumanas, un matrimonio que vive en Copenhague y un pequeño niño chino que deambula por algún pueblo de Chile? La respuesta es simple: sus historias se entrecruzan en estos Cuentos Encaderados, de Andrea Amosson, quien tiene la habilidad de trasladarnos de un espacio a otro y mantener en todos ellos un ritmo que cautiva e historias que van de lo cotidiano a lo extraordinario, siempre con una técnica impecable y un tono que atrapa."
