Corazón cuarteado forma parte de esa gran novela continua que la autora norteamericana de origen catalán se propuso escribir como complemento a sus Diarios. El título refleja una doble alusión: la historia de una relación amorosa que nace, culmina y se resquebraja a lo largo de estas páginas; y la ambigüedad y ambivalencia de los sentimientos de Djuna, la protagonista, cegada por las imágenes que segrega su propio amor. Porque para Djuna, como para la terminología heráldica, el corazón cuarteado es, también, el corazón dividido en cuatro partes independientes, en cuatro espacios distintos, incomunicados, aunque igualmente profundos y capaces de amar con sinceridad.
