There are many women who hope that their lives turn out like a novel: the woman who marries but dreams of meeting the love of her life again when she turns a corner; the little girl who grows up waiting for her next-door-neighbour to notice her; and the woman convinced that the man she has seduced will cross an ocean to find her. This is the story of María José, who suffers an accident just as she has regained control of her life. And that of her mother, to whom María José, unwittingly, is so similar. And it is also Marga's story, her friend, who dreams for both of them. And Paco's, Fermín's, and Joaquín's. It is the story of all these people, united by ties of love, friendship or family, and who, despite this, become strangers to each other. Only by taking a step back will they be able to rebuild their life map. Carmen Amoraga has written an unforgettable novel.
