Reseña del libro "Family Language (en Inglés)"

In this striking debut, an ambitious academic faces new and unwanted choices when she is confronted with overnight motherhood...

Dr. Mona Melamed is a happily married, purposefully childfree linguist at a top Southern California university. Her days are spent researching and stressing about finally, finally securing tenure. That is, until her brother-in-law and his wife die, leaving their six-year-old son orphaned.

Everyone in Mona's orbit expects her to take the lead in caring for the child, including—to some extent—Mona herself. Motherhood is not something she wanted–it is still not something she wants. And yet, she finds herself negotiating a temporary leave to start looking after the boy. Along the way, as the gender expectations thrust upon Mona intensify, her tenure becomes threatened.

FAMILY LANGUAGE confronts that age old question–Can women really have it all?--and uncovers the misogyny behind it. As Mona tries to balance her new responsibilities as a mother, she has to ask herself how hard is she willing to fight for the career she’s earned, and is it fair that she even has to?
