Soy Melba, la menor de cuatro hermanas. Soy el resultado de un amor imposible entre dos mundos, dos seres extraordinarios, dos patologías.


Las Huérfanas es una excavación en la memoria del personaje monumental que fue mi mamá Myriam De Nogales, una mujer inalcanzable en sus destrezas y talentos, apasionada, caustica, herida e hiriente, brillante.


Once años antes de tenerme mi mamá se lanzó por una ventana. Me lo contó cuando me llegó mi primer período, como un escabroso ritual de bienvenida a la pubertad. Este libro es también una indagación en los lazos familiares, en la forma en que creamos la identidad femenina, así como en el espectro de la figura patriarcal en la construcción de nuestro universo interior. Así es como celebro el paso por la tierra de todos mis muertos, en especial de mi madre, la muerta que más vive en mí. También celebro a mi prima, Myriam De Nogales, tocaya y sobrina de mamá, para quien el suicidio fue más que un intento. A las lectoras y lectores de esta novela les deseo que este exorcismo del alma, este acto de psicomagia, esta exploración de los fantasmas que nos habitan les traiga el consuelo que me trajo a mí.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


I am Melba, the youngest of four sisters. I am the result of an impossible love between two worlds, two extraordinary beings, two pathologies.


Las Huérfanas (The Orphans) is an excavation into the memory of the monumental character that was my mother: Myriam De Nogales, an unattainable woman in her skills and talents, passionate, caustic, wounded and wounding, brilliant.


Eleven years before having me, my mother jumped out of a window. She told me this when I got my first period, as a gruesome ritual of welcoming me into puberty. This book is also an investigation into family ties, the way we create female identity, as well as the spectrum of the patriarchal figure in the construction of our inner universe. This is how I celebrate the passage through the earth of all my deceased, especially my mother, the deceased who lives the most in me. I also celebrate my cousin, Myriam De Nogales, my mother's namesake and niece, for whom suicide was more than an attempt. To the readers of this novel, I hope this exorcism of the soul, this act of psychomagic, this exploration of the ghosts that inhabit us, brings you the solace it brought me.

Big Foot
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Pearl White Satin Fabric
I am very satisfied coming from a big footed woman 😅 I have trouble finding cute shoes in my size let alone Wide shoes that are actually cute. This heels are not only just super pretty but comfortable too.

1/2 size too big!!!
Size: 7 Wide, Color: Black Leather
My entire adult life I have been a size 7, regardless of brand, I should have known right away when I tried them on, but I was so excited to go out to dinner in them that I ignored the obvious, they are for sure a 1/2 size too large for me. Thank God for the ankle strap, otherwise they would have had me a@@ over tea kettle the first time I got out of the car. I feel like I'm a kid, wearing my mom's shoes. I shouldn't have worn them out. I should have gotten a smaller size. I still might. They're super cute and comfortable. But SIZE DOWN. Especially if you ordered wide. This is now the second pair in a week I purchased from Naturalizer, and apparently they just make shoes that are 1/2 a size bigger than everyone else. I managed to return the other pair.

Cute great size got a lot of compliments
Color: Obsidian Black
Loved this. Got it on sale dor 34.99 and worth it it seems like a good staple for events / outtings. Even daily use probably, but I got it for a wedding event.weekend and got so many compliments! Good closure zipper had no issues. I like the material doesn’t look or feel cheap, good color. (I got black) but saw someone at event with gold one and also adorable!!! Storage is huge for me - it easily fit my phone, a couple of pads and tampons, small hand sanitizer, small aquaphor with room! I also had sunglasses in there at one point and surprisingly zipped fine with all of that. Overall convenient for storage, aesthetically pleasing, good material-quality. Cons: the chain strap bothered my neck a little bit after wearing it but that’s a me problem. Not the purse/way it was made. But something to consider.
