Djamila, la autora de este libro, quiere agradecerle a su abuela, fallecida ya hace muchos años, todo lo que hizo por ella. Para ello, le escribe cartas donde rememora momentos y aprendizajes con ella y le cuenta cómo le han estado yendo las cosas. Es a través de estas cartas como se construye este libro, cargado de reflexiones sobre el rol de la mujer, en concreto de la racializada, el machismo, la maternidad, el racismo y la sororidad entre mujeres.
Me ha parecido una lectura que, sin pretender ser la mejor lectura del año, aporta muchas reflexiones y se lee muy fácil. No me ha gustado tanto el tema de las religiones y la homeopatía, pero entiendo que forma parte de su realidad y, como tal, tiene cabida en su relato.

Hay historias que necesitan ser contadas. Cuando el racismo confluye con el machismo y la escasez económica, es verdadera magia la que se necesita ante la dureza. Y toda la dureza del mundo sólo puedo digerirla a través del calor de una visión femenina y el calor de una abuela.
Me han gustado mucho las referencias tambien a la religión de los orixas que desconocía completamente.
Aún así algunas partes me han parecido algo flojitas. Lectura fácil.

La autora sabe transmitir muy bien lo que supone ser mujer negra en Brasil y el peso del linaje familiar. Da el tiempo y el espacio para que el racismo cotidiano y su búsqueda de identidad se entiendan en su complejidad. Ahora bien, a nivel literario me ha parecido muy flojo.

9/10 Bonito libro donde la autora rinde homenaje a su abuela, y cuenta su vida, o la de cualquier mujer negra, cruzada por la opresión de género, raza y clase.
