Manuela, a detective novelist based in Madrid, returns to Barcelona for her mother's funeral. The reunion with her cousin Irene and memories of her childhood in the Barrio Chino push her to confront a past she fled. A literary pretext allows her to turn that universe into a passionate story about sensitivity, tenderness, and family bonds.
Originally published in 1997, it is part of the Alfaguara Hispánica collection and belongs to twentieth-century Spanish narrative.
Ideal for readers of contemporary fiction and Spanish narrative interested in stories of personal memory, reunions, and family ties.
