“In World’s Best Mother, Nuria Labari has summoned all of the vitality and tenderness of women who have come before and those who will come after. Rage and desire and love and insolence—she’s laid it at our feet with a wry smile, unapologetic. It is fearless, profound and destabilizing, in the way the best literature is.” MEAGHAN O’CONNELL, author of And Now We Have Everything
“An honest, deep, and visceral reflection on being a mother.” PILAR QUINTANA, author of National Book Award finalist The Bitch
“Labari’s searing, insightful voice lights up the landscape of reproductive biology, culture, and history, giving us new ways to think about creativity itself. A brilliant, vital, necessary contribution to the canon.” ELISA ALBERT, author of After Birth
“Sure, Nuria Labari’s book is about being a mother, but as is indicated in the subtitle, it’s about so much more. About womanhood, creativity, the joys and travails of married life, the way love changes over time. Basically, about the difficulties of being in today’s world. It would be a mistake to think that this is a book just for moms though. It’s a book for anyone interested in what it means to be human. Labari’s voice—thanks to Katie Whittemore’s sharp, lively translation—is absolutely riveting for its earnestness. Being a creative, perceptive mother is messy business, but Labari never shies away from that messiness, transforming this memoir into a work of art.” CHAD POST, Open Letter Books

“Labari writes with candor.” Kirkus Reviews
“A sincere, revealing and visceral chronicle of motherhood.” El Pais
“Prepare to read a book like you’ve never read before, one that breaks the bounds of the narrative and the biographical, the conventions of both traditional and alternative values. A book of humor, love, and pain; as intoxicating as strong wine and as tumultuous as life. The truth is that I can’t imagine the possibility of someone not liking it.” ROSA MONTERO
“A story told from the edge of a knife, a fictionalized chronicle that investigates pain and darkness, but also love, solidarity, and hope.” TodoLiteratura
“In clean, quick, and pointed prose that gets into the reader’s soul from the start, Labari’s novel leaves space for reflections on pain and makes room for understanding and coming to the aid of the fragile, incidental individual in today’s society.” El Confidencial
“Nuria sheds a light on this chaos of darkness that I inhabit when I think about my motherhood (or non-motherhood).” PAULA BONET

“Nuria Labari shows that living motherhood and writing about it is the new punk. A book against social conventions and against the predictable.” SERGIO DEL MOLINO
“There are many ways to talk about motherhood, but Nuria Labari’s book is profoundly original and brilliant. This novel is an explosion, an intellectual journey through the most primary instincts and the most human love. Nuria Labari has written a necessary book on a universal theme.” LARA MORENO, author
“Labari infuses this story with some of her own experience, going beyond the life of a protagonist who lifts the veil on stereotypes and turning this text into a universal story about motherhood loaded with humanity, doubts, humor, regrets and imperfections.” El Diario
“This novel joins the debate already opened by public figures such as Samanta Villar: the ambivalence generated by motherhood in contemporary female identity.” ANABEL PALOMARES, Jared
“For Labari, the important thing is to take the issue of motherhood to the streets and to books, to take away that sense of duty to be maternal that floods us and infiltrates our way of living sex.” PAOLA ARAGÓN, Fashion & Arts
“Nuria Labari’s book must be read slowly, with a pencil, underlining. And, at the end of each chapter, get up, walk, think. It is both a necessary and insufficient book: we need more women, we need more mothers, more non-mothers, more workers, more artists, more grandmothers, more cleaners, more executives, more single mothers … We need more voices. That said: how well you think and what a pleasure to read you, Labari. Somebody take care of those girls for a while, please. Let Nuria keep writing.” PALOMA BRAVO, Zenda
