“…«Desde entonces ha pasado media vida o más, pero la letra con la que se inscribió en la memoria de todos no se ha borrado»: Rombo es, efectivamente, una indagación sobre la memoria –«animal que ladra por muchas bocas»– que urden los testimonios de siete habitantes de una remota aldea entre los Alpes y el Adriático, personas que tienen que aprender a vivir a partir de la pérdida y el trauma. …”

“…Cavendish puede ser comprendida en la historia de Occidente como un eslabón perdido que condensa imaginación científica, filosofía natural, una buena dosis de feminismo práctico y experimentación literaria.Fantasías filosóficas no solamente despliega una serie de discursos y poemas que discuten las concepciones de la época a propósito de la materia del mundo y su movimiento, sino que propone ideas novedosas respecto de la razón y el sentido de animales y plantas, la concepción moral (o amoral) de la naturaleza y los problemas para publicar con los que lidiaban las mujeres en su siglo --…”
