Es la primera vez que leo a Mia Couto y estoy gratamente sorprendida.
Su estilo de escritura es realmente muy bueno y atrapa.
Esta novela es una mezcla entre realismo magico/folclorico/misticismo/critica a la sociedad, como las mujeres son sometidas en un ambiente donde esta normalizado ese comportamiento entonces el sometimiento no lo ven como un problema (cuando en realidad lo es).
Definitivamente este es un libro rico en simbolismos y metaforas. Donde en un principio puede creerse que es sobre leones y sus victimas, definitivamente el trasfondo es mucho mas profundo, y te hace reflexionar sobre las injusticias de genero, de religion, de cultura, etc. De esas lecturas que te dejan pensando.
