In 1954, the young psychiatrist Germán Velázquez returned to Spain to work in the women's asylum in Ciempozuelos, south of Madrid. There he meets Aurora Rodríguez, a paranoid, highly intelligent parricide who fascinated him at the age of thirteen, and meets a nursing assistant, María Castejón. Attracted to her, Germán does not understand her rejection and suspects that she hides many secrets. The reader will discover her modest origins as the granddaughter of the asylum's gardener, her years as a maid in Madrid, her unhappy love story, as well as the reasons why Germán has returned to Spain. Twin souls who want to escape their respective pasts, Germán and María aspire to give themselves an opportunity, but they live in a country where sins become crimes and puritanism covers up all kinds of abuses and outrages.
Novelista madrileña, autora de Las edades de Lulú, El corazón helado y la serie Episodios de una guerra interminable.
