Synopsis
"Julia arrived at school in a February morning," Luis del Val tells, and since that moment Clara’s life will change completely; almost as much as the life of a family, a city and a country in the last thirty years. This book is a story of friendship and complicity, understanding, and mix-ups, between two very different women from their childhood to adulthood.

The book is a story of the desire to live and the incessant search of happiness, but it is also the story of a corpse hidden in the closet for many years, an unfulfilled dream, and a broken promise. Narrated in such a personal and characteristic way, it is full of benevolent irony and kind lucidity; this novel means the return of Luis del Val to his greatest literary facet.
