Finally, “Amor y vida” is about the life trajectory of a woman born in Mexico, the local traditions and the social prejudices she must face in order to be happy.
In the words of her prologue writer, “she has achieved a book capable of absorbing those who read it and of distancing and even alienating them from that real reality from which it is often convenient to move away in order to immerse oneself in that unique and fascinating world that is good literature”.
