With The Abortionist's Vacation, Maria Andreas offers us a work of rare intensity, where the intimate meets the universal in a tale that is at once poignant, raw, and profoundly human. Oscillating as it does between autobiography and family saga, this is much more than a simple life story: it is a dizzying plunge into the twists and turns of memory, family legacies, and the wounds that shape identity. From the very first pages, the author captivates us with her incandescent writing, where caustic humor and tenderness blend with striking accuracy. The direct and powerful language leaves no respite, drawing us into a whirlwind of emotions where tragedy rubs shoulders with human comedy. Each sentence resonates with raw truth, carried by a disarming sincerity and uncompromising lucidity.
