I Should be Dead by Julieta Prandi

The struggle to keep listening to one’s own voice

Lucia is astute, shrewd, brilliant and, to top it all, good people. Everyone adores her. She deserves the best and she gets it. She is appointed host of the star news programme of Prime Time. That same day, she not only debuts her image on screen, but also discovers that she is pregnant by a man she has only known for a short time and with whom she does not know if she is in love. The ghosts of abandonment and failed motherhood that have accom- panied her from her youth in the village to the big city reappear, forcing her to make decisions. Despite her doubts, she decides to take the gamble and start a family. Little by little, she begins to abandon her career, her affections and her life. Unbeknownst to her, she is living with a psychopath who will bring her to the edge of the abyss. With determination, she will fight to dis- cover the truth and protect herself and her children, confronting the ghosts of the past and defending her career, her affections and her life. A story that puts on the agenda the silent violence that thousands of wom- en suffer every time someone tells them what to do, what to wear, what to think and what to feel.
