"Written partly during lockdown, a time that pushed many mothers trapped at home close to breaking point, Begona Gomez Urzaiz's tale of mothers and monsters is, on the face of it, about women who break the ultimate taboo and desert their children."
"It is the author's interweaving of these stories with more everyday reflections on maternal guilt and judgment that turns this book into a fascinating portrait not just of those who leave, but those who stay."
"As a feminist, shouldn't she be more understanding of a woman choosing to prioritize her work, or her own happiness? After all, famous fathers throughout history have done the same, without being quite so publicly reviled for it."
