Amparo Miranda, a fashion designer in New York, returns to the city she left forty years ago. She does not come back out of nostalgia, but to piece together an interrupted story and give words to a tale of silences. Her stay intersects with other lives and conversations, forming a choral novel about memory, forgetting, identity, and uprootedness.
The novel won the Premio San Clemente in 1999, and the edition was published in Barcelona in 1998.
