Blanca, a young housewife, suffers from aphasia, a mental illness that prevents her from articulating language. Unable to read or speak, she clings to her memories, reviewing her life. Her stable marriage is disrupted by an unexpected relationship, challenging conventions and leading her to confront unknown social and political realities.
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."
