| Penelope
Parker
Los hombres (a veces, por desgracia) siempre vuelven
(Men (Unfortunately) Always Come Back)
This fascinating book helps women understand why they want
the man that made their life a living hell…back. This counterintuitive
phenomenon is not so uncommon afterall. Parker
explores the reasons why some women can't let go of a bad
relationship and why they keep falling into the same trap of
ultimately hoping that their man will finally change. Self-esteem,
self-worth and interpersonal relationships are discussed along
with ways to improve and enhance them. A must read for
women, or friends of women, who keep ending up with the
same man, literally.

Doris Lessing
La grieta
(The Cleft)
Eminent novelist and recent Nobel Prize-winner, Lessing offers
an alternative origin story for the human race, indirectly recalling
the alternate world speculations of her Canopus in Argos SF
novels. Positing that the primal human stock was female rather
than male, Lessing invents a cult of ancient women called the
Clefts, a name derived, in part, from that essential part of
female anatomy. The story of the Clefts is bookended by the
journal of a Roman historian, who interprets ancient documents
stating that females were originally impregnated by a fertilizing
wind or a wave, to give birth to female children.
