Un taxista viudo que no supera la pérdida de su mujer, un médico desencantado, una prostituta africana aferrada a la vida y una vieja científica protagonizan esta novela urbana, sobre un trasfondo vertiginoso de asesinos en serie, amas sadomasoquistas un tanto estrafalarias y pequeños prodigios.Una historia de esperanza, una tragicomedia que se mueve entre el humor y la emoción. Una intensa e hipnótica novela desde la primera hasta la última página.«La vida es bella, disparatada y dolorosa. Esta fábula para adultos intenta disfrutar de la belleza, colocar el dolor y reírse de ese disparate formidable.»Rosa MonteroENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA story of hope that flows between humor and emotions. An intense and hypnotic novel from beginning to end. Four characters absorbed in the apocalyptic modernity of a great city will bear witness to the crossing of their own destinies. A widowed taxi driver unable overcome the death of his wife, a disillusioned doctor, an African prostitute clinging to life, and an elderly scientist, they all star in an urban novel set on a background rife with serial killers, sadomasochistic housewives, and small wonders."Life is beautiful, crazy, and painful. This fable for adults tries to make you enjoy the beauty, assume the pain, and laugh at that grand nonsense." -Rosa Montero

Since then, she has established her voice in contemporary literature with works that combine fiction, social analysis, and personal reflection.
