Lola de León

“But for all her youth and beauty she has a sour distrusting expression that only dissolves under the weight of immense pleasure.”

“She was that kind of mother: who makes you doubt yourself, who would wipe you out if you let her. But I’m not going to pretend either. For a long time I let her say what she wanted about me, and what was worse, for a long time I believed her.
