Coup de coeur
(Life Events), by Aminata
This book examines why mothers who abandon their children are often judged more harshly than fathers. Through a series of essays on women like Doris Lessing, Maria Montessori, Muriel Sparks and testimonies of mothers, the author explores their decision to have their children raised by others.
What kind of mother abandons her child? During the pandemic, trapped at home with young children and struggling to find creative space to write, journalist Begoña Gómez Urzaiz became fixated on artistic women who overcame both societys condemnation and their own maternal guilt to leave their childrenat will or due to economic or other circumstances.The Abandoners
