With brilliant prose, Julia Rendón Abrahamson portrays the life of a separated mother in New York. A young Ecuadorian woman has a daughter with a Catalan banker and in the midst of today's broken society seeks a way to redeem the family's emigration dating back to World War II from Nazi-occupied Vienna.

A powerful repertoire of uncontrollable images of family memory leap into the consciousness of the day to day of a New York life marked by lovelessness, parenting, the search for a new life. Thought attempts to spin a discourse that functions as a protective blanket as a vital youthful impulse dominates her sexual, amorous and familial experiences.

This is the novel debut of an original writer who creates a dazzling text for the power of the language, which emerges as if it springs from the deep need to name the world.

In this great moment of visibility of Ecuadorian women's writing, Julia Rendón Abrahamson comes to tell us that the themes that interest the region are not exhausted in violence, or what may seem exotic abroad. She claims that what does exist in this territory is a diversity of identities and experiences that need to be read.
