UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DE 2021 SEGÚN GQ Y ESQUIRE Recomendadisimo.Javier Castillo Completamente adictiva.Paula Hawkins, autora de La chica del tren Creiamos que nos conociamos el uno al otro. Creiamos que nos conociamos a nosotros mismos. Blythe ya no sabe que es verdad y que es mentira: ¿esta viviendo la vida feliz que siempre deseo, con un marido perfecto y una hija angelical? ¿O esta repitiendo la sordida historia de su madre y su abuela, marcada por el desapego y el maltrato? ¿Es Fox, su marido, el compañero y padre ideal, o tiene una vida paralela que cada dia lo aleja mas de su casa? Su hija Violet ¿es una niña brillante y complicada, que solo quiere que su madre le preste mas atencion, o es malvada de nacimiento? Depende del momento y de como se mire, todo y nada puede parecer verdad o parecer una trampa. El instinto es una novela que se queda grabada. Una historia de horror y redencion, una exploracion del origen de la maldad y del modo ominoso en que los traumas familiares se transmiten de madres a hijas. Esta es, en definitiva, una historia valiente que da pie a que cada lector se interrogue sobre cuestiones dolorosas, personales y, por ello, necesarias.La critica ha dicho:Te enganchara tanto que ni te daras cuenta de la rapidez con la que la terminas.Ana Trasobares, Esquire Una novela perturbadora, cruda y franca, que engancha desde la primera pagina.Laura Galdeano, Libertad DigitalUn thriller psicologico con un final digno de Heridas abiertas que se inscribe en el cada vez mas transitado genero del mum noir o novela negra materna. [...] Un boom editorial. [...] Genera adiccion.Adrian Cordellat, El Pais Comparada como un cruce entre Perdida, de Gillian Flynn, y Tenemos que hablar de Kevin, de Lionel Shriver, [el] libro se perfila como uno de los grandes best sellers internacionales del año.Isabel Loscertales, Woman El instinto promete ser el fenomeno Perdida de este año. [...] Dara mucho que leer. Y que hablar.Elle ("Mujeres que hacen historia") Un relato adictivo, un thriller psicologico que brilla por la cantidad de temas que aborda: desde el lado oscuro de la maternidad y las expectativas que ponemos sobre las madres, hasta la imposibilidad de escapar a la herencia y la genetica materna, pasando por el derrumbe de la pareja y la figura de una niña que hace pedazos el mito de la inocencia y la pureza infantiles. [...] Sirva su novela como ejemplo.Adrian Cordellat, El Pais Una novela muy dura, terrorifica incluso, que se lee de una sentada y tiene un estilo enormemente agil y directo. Afronta de una manera muy sincera y profunda la maternidad y te deja al terminarla con un nudo en el corazon.Asunta Lopez, Todo LiteraturaUn thriller psicologico, una historia terrible sobre los origenes de la maldad y un fino analisis de los traumas familiares con los que carga todo ser humano. [...] Un relato adictivo del llamado genero mom noir o novela negra materna.Ana Trasobares, Esquire ("Los quince mejor libros de intriga y misterio")
