La novela <\/span>Ana Sonr\u00ede<\/span><\/i> (2015), escrita por Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal y publicado por F&G Editores (Ciudad de Guatemala), se centra en temas de la feminidad y las relaciones entre las mujeres y su espacio. Se basa en la historia de tres hermanas, Ana, Lucrecia y Loreta, que recuentan sus vidas y los abusos por distintos hombres, incluyendo su padre. El lector se sumerge en estas experiencias en cada cap\u00edtulo desde el punto de vista de cada hermana, presenciando a su vez las relaciones entre las hermanas y los hombres en sus vidas. El lector conoce a cada hermana personalmente dentro el contexto de no solo su cap\u00edtulo respectivo, sino desde el punto de vista de las otras hermanas. As\u00ed los lectores logramos un mejor entendimiento de las relaciones que Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal ha pintado en detalle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Las her<\/span>manas tienen<\/span> vidas <\/span>independientes y distintas. Loreta tiene dinero<\/span>, lo cual la eleva sobre las preocupaciones<\/span> financieras de <\/span>Lucrecia <\/span>y Ana. Lucrecia <\/span>tiene esperanzas para su futuro, lo cual l<\/span>a<\/span> motiva a continuar a pesar d<\/span>e<\/span> las experiencias<\/span> traum<\/span>\u00e1ticas que ha sobrevivido. Buscamos algo de soporte para la vida de Ana, pero como empezamos la novela con su suicidio, ya sabemos la respuesta: no hay esperanza para Ana. Mientras el lector sigue las vidas de las hermanas, esperamos encontrar un final alternativo, una solidaridad que pueda sanar a las hermanas, y salvar a Ana de su suicidio. El dolor de los abusos de su padre, y el trauma de las reglas religiosas y machistas que les impuso, podr\u00eda unirles, pero las tensiones agravadas tras las muertes de ambos padres y los abusos de sus parejas las distancian. Sus maneras de afrontar la p\u00e9rdida de sus seres queridos, y afrontar el trauma de su ni\u00f1ez, no se alinean, y como resultado, tienen que separarse para tratar de sanar, aunque tampoco esta estrategia funciona. Entretanto, las relaciones \u00edntimas que Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal va delinenado en su escritura nos dan una esperanza, y un ansia de que pueda cambiar el destino de Ana hasta que llegamos al final inevitable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Comparable con el formato de novelas como<\/span> Cr<\/span><\/i>\u00f3n<\/span><\/i>ica de una Muerte Anunciada, <\/span><\/i>que empieza con una muerte ya ocurrida, lo cual inspir\u00f3 a Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal<\/span>, <\/span>Ana Sonr\u00ede<\/span><\/i> tiene personajes muy humanos, quienes reflejan los fallos de la sociedad en pleno. Pero tambi\u00e9n subraya relaciones de apoyo y c\u00f3mo podemos mejorar en nuestras vidas. Es una novela aplicable tanto a los hombres como a las mujeres. Se trata de experiencias humanas, lo que se refleja<\/span> en el dolor <\/span>fem<\/span>enino que muchos lectores conocen de manera muy \u00edntima.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal ilumina las experiencias de las mujeres no solo centroamericanas, sino de mujeres de todo el mundo. En una entrevista, Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal explica que durante el proceso de escribir Ana Sonr\u00ede, los personajes, de una manera, tomaron sus propias decisiones, y la tragedia del suicidio de Ana, con la cual empieza la novela, ten\u00eda que pasar. Los personajes y los espacios de Ana Sonr\u00ede realmente toman vida, y dejan al lector criticando aspectos de la suya propia\u00a0y de las relaciones que la forman tambi\u00e9n<\/span><\/p>\n

The novel \u201cAna Sonr\u00ede\u201d (2015), written by Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal and published by F&G Editores (City of Guatemala), focuses on themes of femineity and the relationships between women and their surrounding spaces. It\u2019s based on the story of three sisters, Ana, Lucrecia, and Loreta, who recount their lives, and the abuses from different men, including their father. The reader is submerged in these experiences in each chapter from the point of view of each sister, giving more clarity to the relationships between the sisters and the men in their lives. The reader gets to know each sister personally within the context of their own respective chapter, but also through the point of view of the other sisters as well. In this format, we capture a better understanding of the intricate relationships that Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal has painted.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sisters have their own independent and distinct lives. Loreta has money, which puts her above the financial worries of Lucrecia and Ana. Lucrecia has hope for her future, which motivates her to continue on, despite the trauma she has survived. We look for something to support Ana, but we begin the novel with her suicide, and we already know the answer: there is no hope for Ana. While the reader follows the sisters\u2019 lives, we hope to find an alternative ending, a solidarity that might heal the sisters, and save Ana from her suicide. The intimate relationships Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal captures in her writing gives us hope, and a longing to change Anas destiny before we reach the inevitable ending.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Comparable to the beginning of \u201cCr\u00f3nica de una Muerte Anunciada\u201d which begins with a death that already happened, which inspired Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal, \u201cAna Sonr\u00ede\u201d has very human characters, who reflect the failing of society. But it also highlights supporting relationships and how we can improve in our own lives. This novel is just as applicable to men as it is to women. It\u2019s about human experiences, which are reflected in female pain, which many readers know in an intimate way.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal sheds light on the experiences of not only Central American women but also the experiences of women around the world. In an interview, Denise Ph\u00e9 Funchal explains that during the writing process of \u201cAna Sonr\u00ede\u201d, the characters, in a sense, made their own decisions, and the tragedy of the suicide of Ana, which begins the novel, had to happen. The characters and spaces of \u201cAna Sonr\u00ede\u201d take life and leave the reader critiquing aspects of their own life and the relationships that form it.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
