Nerea Pérez de las Heras releases book 'Fantasma' about life after amputation
Journalist and communicator Nerea Pérez de las Heras has released a new book titled ‘Fantasma’, published by Alfaguara. The work is a personal account of her life following a traumatic accident in July 2023.
During a vacation in the Balearic Islands, a boat propeller accident resulted in the amputation of her right leg. In the book, Pérez de las Heras reflects on the physical and emotional changes to her body, the grieving process for her former self, and the complexities of navigating life with a disability.
The narrative also addresses broader societal issues, including public healthcare, economic dependency, and the social expectations placed on individuals to appear invincible. Pérez de las Heras noted that feminism has been a key tool in helping her reconcile with her changing body.
