Reseña del libro "Queen Mab: A Novel (en Inglés)"

In this debut novel, a new mother--a scholar steeped in fairy lore--wrestles with the legacies and madness of motherhood. There is a changeling in this story--but who is it? Madeleine is young for motherhood, a promising grad student in Victorian and modernist literature, twenty-three and not long married. Even her mother worries about the timing. But Madeleine's ambivalence is pushed aside by Tom's elation and her own desire to bring new life into a world marked by loss. Then comes Maud, perfect and fresh, despite a traumatic labor. But just a few nights into their life, something seems amiss. Maud is changed. The child never stops crying. Her hunger is insatiable. Her eyes glint with some kind of ancient mischief. Could Maud be a fairy child, swapped when Madeleine wasn't paying attention? Is the real Maud dancing in the half-light, with the fairies and the foxes? Did the gray cat hide her behind the hedge? Tom goes about the day-to-day, working toward a promotion and urging Madeleine to connect with other moms. Her parents come to clean out her grandmother's house, her father newly obsessed with genealogy and DNA tests. Madeleine, interrupted by violent visions, panicked at her lack of maternal love, shut out from her old life, frantically searches for answers. The old stories end in sorrow and bloodshed, and the fairies don't just kidnap babies--they're also partial to young women. Is Maud the changeling, or is Madeleine? And if she's been swapped, how will she find her way back? Emily McBride's Queen Mab is a riveting portrait of madness, motherhood, the myths that haunt us, and the families who keep us tethered.
