Four Chilean women, professionals and friends, meet by a lake and share their stories of love, work and disillusionment.

Originally written in 1991, it was awarded in 1994 the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, given to the best Spanish-American novel written by women.
For readers interested in contemporary narrative in Spanish, literature by female authors and novels about Chilean society.
Marcela Serrano is a Chilean novelist. In 1994, her first novel, Para que no me olvides, won the Literary Prize in Santiago, and her second book, Nosotras que nos queremos tanto, won the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for women writers in Spanish. She received the runner-up award in the renowned Premio Planeta competition in 2001 for her novel Lo que está en mi corazón. Carlos Fuentes has quoted her description of the modern woman as "having the capacity to change skin like a snake, freeing herself from the inevitability and servitude of more obsolete times."
