Combining the political intrigue of a dictatorship with the
development and failure of a passionate love, this novel imparts a
vision of contemporary women that transcends borders and language.
The narrator and her partner examine the futility of their affair
and the death of their son against the backdrop of the defeated
Left-wing revolutionary plan. The author presents high-voltage
emotional situations in a subtle, seductive way and discusses
women's roles throughout the book. The novel also deals with what
it means to prepare for old age and death in the 21st century.
"Combinando la intriga politica de una dictadura con el desarrollo
y el fracaso de un amor apasionado, esta novela imparte una vision
de la mujer contemporanea que trasciende fronteras y lenguas. La
narradora y su companero examinan la futilidad de su aventura y la
muerte de su hijo contra el telon de fondo del derrotado proyecto
revolucionario de izquierda. La autora presenta situaciones
emocionales de alto voltaje de una manera sutil y seductora y
discute el papel de la mujer a lo largo del libro. La novela
tambien habla sobre lo que significa prepararse para la vejez y la
muerte en el siglo XXI."
