SERIES:Narrativas hispánicas
Ana tells her son pieces of a life filled with the superficial miseries from which her personal and family relationships are constructed. Her words become a hard legacy for a new generation which wants to trascend innocence. The novel, then, is not focused on grand historic events, but on the intimate and daily, on the gestures and silences of characters wounded by betrayal and disloyalty, by frustrated wishes and despair.
