Novel
Three generations of women bound by an invisible thread of birth, loss and memory.
Matriz weaves together the voices of Aurora, her daughter Greta, and Emilia—Greta’s unborn daughter, who nonetheless has a name and a voice. Between the experience of new motherhood, marked by wonder and exhaustion, and the imminence of death, tensions, tenderness and unresolved issues come to the surface.
Before she dies, Aurora seeks to heal a wound from the past by travelling to France to reconnect with her cousin Lidia. Meanwhile, Greta re-examines her relationships—with Pablo, her friend Elisa, her lost daughter and her baby—and her understanding of motherhood and writing.
A novel about motherhood as light and shadow, and about a female lineage marked by love, guilt and redemption.
In Matriz, past, present and future merge to form a saga told from a female perspective. Sofía Brotóns writes with a depth that moves and a delicacy that touches the heart, a story in which readers will recognise themselves because it draws on shared experiences and questions the ultimate meaning of heritage and memory.
