FORBIDDEN NOTEBOOK: Alba de Cespedes​

FORBIDDEN NOTEBOOK

by Alba de Cespedes​

One day a woman, a wife and mother, starts writing in a notebook. What follows is an exploration of what it means to be truly aware of your lot in life. Would you feel empowered knowing your limitations? Or trapped? De Céspedes was anti-fascist, twice jailed. In this novel, the prisons are more subtle, but all-encompassing: the roles we play in the domestic realm and how they can dictate our lives.​
