basiacyb's review against another edition

Bardzo intymna i wzruszająca opowieść o kobiecie - matce, żonie - jej marzeniach i tej silnej potrzebie odnalezienia lepszego miejsca. Bardzo krótka, ale bardzo bogata w treści. Uroniłam łzę lub dwie i bardzo się cieszę, że została „królową Paryża”.

— "The story of my mother starts with a dream: she was going to be a cook."
— "She was desperate to deny reality, and yet I could see it—she regarded the destiny of her sons as a dreadful repetition of the mechanisms that had crushed her own life, as the unbreakable cycle of a curse."
