Topless

Reclaiming Life After Breast Cancer

Original Title: Amb els pits a l'aire: Redescobrint la vida després del càncer

Publication: 2025

Author: Núria Esponellà

An honest celebration of life, the courage to bare it all, to accept oneself, and to reconnect with what truly matters.

A breast cancer diagnosis shakes Núria’s life to its core — but it does not break her. Instead, it compels her to look inward, to listen to her body, to make peace with the passing of time, with her femininity, and with the natural world that sustains her. Without sentimentality but with a tender, defiant clarity, the author invites us to walk alongside her on a path of pain, beauty, and fierce resilience.

Topless is much more than the story of an illness — it is an honest celebration of life, the courage to stand bare, to accept oneself, and to reconnect with what is essential. With a warm, clear, and inspiring voice, Núria Esponellà gives words to the most intimate emotions and speaks of the ill body, but also the body that loves, that creates, that heals, and that is reborn.

A compelling book that comforts, that makes us pause and breathe in deeply. An empowering read — reminding us that freedom begins when we shed our armor and let ourselves be carried by the wind.
