"It might seem that everything has already been said about the experience of motherhood and its darkest reverse sides, but Mothers don't shows that there are still many corners to explore, and it does it with accuracy and intelligence"–Aixa de la Cruz
"If Los turista desganados [Agirre's earlier nove], in narrative terms, is an 'odyssey, ' a transforming displacement, Mothers Don't is an Iliad, a private conflict that becomes public, a challenge in a reduced space, almost a closed-room novel, in which what we have to find out is not who the killer is, not even the motive, but how it is even possible that it happened"–Juan Marqués
