Personal Review: Tear This Heart Out by Angeles Mastretta
Tear my heart Out is an impacting and enchanting work out literature that
will not allow the reader stop its reading until the ending. And not only that,
but that it narrates a captivating story occurred in México during and
afterward the Mexican Revolution is over.
Catalina, the novel's protagonist, marries at a rather young age a politician,
a lot of years her senior, and a very prominent person in the Mexican city

of Puebla. As the latter's, Andres Atencio, career flourishes and
augments, Catalina finds herself involved in an increasing myriad of
responsibilities which she performs quite outstandingly. Among this
abovementioned tasks it is to raise a number of Atencio's out of wedlock
offspring.
Afterwards, as the novel is advancing, Catalina finds out about strong
criticism against her husband, of his power struggles and of the
assassination accusations that fall over him. It is at this point when
Catalina, maybe as a means of escapism, even seeks love in the arms of
two different lovers. At the ending, as it is manifest in all the tragedies
throughout the novel, an impacting event takes place that will perhaps
liberate Catalina of the entire burden that she has had to endure
throughout the years.
This title has been translated until the present from Spanish into 11
languages and at the beginning narrates Catalina's initial and utterly
submissive love for the General Andres Atencio; and as the plot unfolds, of
her progressive separation from her conjugal subordination and of her
acceptance of the political context which will germinate into doubt all of her
well established revolutionary ideals.
From my humble opinion, this is a beautifully written piece of work that
should not be kept unread.
