Set in Ibiza in the late 1950s, this novel follows Miguel Alonso and his friend Antonio as they travel to the island in search of a vacation. While Antonio indulges in nightlife and excess, Miguel, a more reserved draftsman, finds his world turned upside down after meeting Odette, a French woman who challenges his convictions. Written by the master Rafael Azcona, this work is a biting and deeply human portrait of Spain at the time, marked by misogyny and narrow-mindedness. With his characteristic ironic humor, Azcona dissects the social miseries of that era, offering a reading that is as hilarious as it is desolate.
