Reading Marcela Serrano is like peering into the eyes of all the women in the world.” —Arturo Pérez-Reverte About the Author Marcela Serrano is the daughter of writers and an award-winning Chilean novelist.

Her subsequent novels, among them The Hotel of the Sad Women and Our Lady of Loneliness, met with much success, landing her the Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Prize and a runner-up nod in the prestigious Premio Planeta competition. She is widely considered one of the best Latin American writers working today.

When the book opens, they are arriving at the institute where Natasha works in a suburb of Santiago. She watches the women arriving and watches the workmen in the garden who are in turn watching the women. We’re introduced initially to the diversity of Natasha’s visitors - young, old, tall, short, well-dressed and apparently privileged and poor country women are all delivered in the minivan that’s brought them to this place.In each chapter one woman tells about her life, how she came to have problems and how she ended up with Natasha. Some of the women are rich and their problems can seem a little superficial. Others are dirt-poor and only able to attend thanks to the generosity of their therapist and the subsidies of their well-to-do ‘sisters’.What makes the book particularly interesting - well to me, at least - is the setting in Chile and the parts that allude to the beauty and fragility of this country about which I know I know too little. I enjoyed the passages about the harshness of life under political dictatorship, and I found a lot to interest me in the diversity of the experiences related. I have a Facebook friend in Chile through whom I know more than I used to about the harsh realities of life in Chile, but this book paints a vivid picture of just how hard a place it is and has long been for women in particular.Some of the women’s problems are problems shared with others - female or male, it probably would make no difference - all over the world, whilst others are uniquely Chilean. I am blessed with not having ever had mental health issues but I can recognise many of the themes as ones common to people I know or of whom I know. As a potpourri of women’s disappointment and despair, it’s an oddly beautiful and poignant collection of stories.If I have one criticism, it’s a small one, and that’s that sometimes there doesn’t seem to be enough change of ‘voice’ between the stories. Ten women’s stories all told as if by one accent, one vocabulary and one pair of eyes. Whether that’s the original writing or the work of the translator, I can’t be sure, but it’s noticeable. And why shouldn’t the poor girls tell their stories in pretty words? Perhaps that’s the gift the author gives themThis is a hard book to read because of the despair it recounts, but also a beautiful one. If you have issues yourself, take care it doesn’t set you thinking too deeply of other people’s troubles. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great collection *by M***S on 24 March 2014* An eye opening account of a variety of women's lives and how they cope with difficult times. A well worth read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As my first audio book *by M***T on 14 January 2020* It was easy to listen too, each of the 10 women had interesting stories to tell. However I did not think neither of them had closer and I didn’t quite get how listening to each other help them in the end. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/66334484-ten-women](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/66334484-ten-women) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
