The reasons for heartbreak become the causes of passion. You just have to know how to handle this possible transition in that difficult balance between what is necessary to survive the drives that guide us while reason, morality and customs are settling as routines to which the human clings in search of the immortality of a love that can never be eternal.

But the truth is that you can never stop loving, no matter how much you intuit that orgasm is a reduction to the absurdity of that impossible eternity, despite the fact that your search is a burden between the physiological and the basic patterns towards the perpetuation of the species.

This novel delves into the dichotomous perception of love between Gustavo and Lali. In what ultimately seems more like a story about the different states in which the two parties that agree on eternal love can find themselves.

Then there are the external conditions, the perception of others and the effort to show that the decisions in the most important thing that concerns us, love, are adjusted to the impositions and the normality on which others take refuge from the incipient rain of your own deepest desires.

Because Gustavo and Lali belong to that high social stratum to which each heartbreak is considered a human defeat. And that, for the achievers who have made their lives a success, sounds like the bitterest defeat.

The story is completed with the character of Sonia, who knows that in that dark story of defeated love there are hidden edges that escape common knowledge. And that is where the story takes on a police character that ends up revealing the singular and even violent form of love between Gustavo and Lali.

The unanimous consideration of Alonso Cueto as one of the greatest current storytellers in Spanish is ratified once again in this novel with evocations of Milan Kundera as far as the contradictions of the human being is concerned, Henry james In the brilliant contribution of the stories told from within, give yourself that book that the characters seem to write as if a reader could read directly about the human soul.
