A girl raised in an orphanage arrives in a marginal neighbourhood, where she is taken in by a singular family: doña Bárbara, her grandmother; Amanda, her aunt; Chico, her cousin, and Airelai, a dwarf who preserves the magic of childhood. Between urban realism and the marvellous, Montero explores memory, cruelty, fantasy and freedom.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection from Seix Barral and falls within contemporary Spanish fiction.
For readers of literary fiction and Spanish narrative seeking a short story with a magical atmosphere and urban realism.
Madrid journalist and novelist, El País columnist, author of History of the Transparent King, The Cannibal's Daughter and the Bruna Husky series.
