The novel recreates the secret life of Remedios Varo, a Spanish surrealist painter of the 1930s, and her relationship with a Cuban poet critical of the Castro regime. Between art, love and uprootedness, the story traces the artist's exile in Mexico and the connections between Spain, Cuba and creation in the twentieth century.

It is a read for those interested in surrealism, exile and stories of twentieth-century artists.
