En Todo lo que no puedo decir, Emilie Pine nos trae seis relatos autobiográficos que quieren romper el más antiguo de los pactos de silencio: el cuerpo de las mujeres como fuente de placer y de dolor. "No leas este libro en publico: te hara llorar." Anne Enright Cuando Emilie Pine le dijo a su madre que queria escribir un libro de ensayos autobiograficos, ella le pregunto de que tratarian. "Sobre alcoholismo, abortos, violaciones, depresion y silencio. Y tambien sobre encontrar fuerzas, trabajar duro y aprender a alzar la voz." Su madre entendio por que su hija queria escribir ese libro, pero ¿publicarlo? Sin duda. Publicarlo porque nunca antes ha sido tan necesaria esta exploracion sobre todo aquello que las mujeres supuestamente deben esconder: la adiccion, la ira, la violencia sexual, la euforia, la sensualidad y el amor. Pine escribe con una sinceridad radical sobre acontecimientos que durante cuarenta años no habia admitido ni siquiera ante si misma: el alcoholismo de su padre, su imposibilidad de quedarse embarazada, violaciones y adicciones.

Radically honest and fiercely intelligent, the word-of-mouth #1 bestseller on modern womanhood and coming-of-age.'I am afraid of being the disruptive woman. And of not being disruptive enough. I am afraid. But I am doing it anyway.'In this dazzling debut, Emilie Pine speaks powerfully from her painful personal experience - on the emotional labour of caring for her alcoholic father, on the unspeakable grief of miscarriage and infertility, on the social taboos around menstrual blood and female pain, on the ways young women use their own bodies as a weapon against themselves. Courageous, humane and uncompromising, devastatingly poignant and yet never self-pitying, these pieces investigate and challenge society's assumptions around pain, strength, resilience and identity, ultimately embracing joy and hope in the business of living.
