Μια εξαιρετική κριτική της Patricia Barbeito για τη Γυναίκα του Θεού της Αμάντας Μιχαλοπούλου στο περιοδικό ΧΡΟΝΟΣ.

http://www.chronosmag.eu/index.php/patricia-felisa-barbeito-life-between-the-lines.html

“Τhe boldness and brilliance of Michalopoulou’s novel, lies in the story of the narrator’s travels and travails with her enigmatic and taciturn husband. It opens out into a highly nuanced, evocative, and oftentimes wryly humorous meditation on creativity and creation, reality and imagination, freedom and faith, spirituality and physicality, indeed the very nature of truth and love. What ties all this together, is the novel’s sustained, self-conscious attention to the workings of fiction. It is the very foundation of the couple’s relationship – what else, besides fiction, could bring these two together?”

“Like Marquez, I don’t believe in God, but I fear him. And when I don’t know something, I imagine it.”
