“Cerveza mexicana es un canto a la amistad que ofrece una mirada sanadora sobre la forma de enfrentarse a la muerte, al dolor y a la nostalgia de la pérdida. Por eso deja poso y nos interpela.”
Marina Lomar.
“Susana matiza a la perfección los claroscuros de sus personajes para ofrecernos un relato lleno de contrastes, una de sus novelas, creo yo, más personales y maduras.”
Sílvia Tarragó.
