"Vague de froid" n'est pas un roman sur les drogues et l'alcool ni une descente aux enfers de l'addiction. Ce n'est pas non plus un roman sur la crise économique, ni sur comment celle-ci a changé la face de la ville de Madrid pour toujours.

"Wave of Cold" is not a novel about drugs and alcohol nor the descent into the hell of addiction. Nor is it a novel about the economic crisis, nor how this has changed the face of Madrid forever.

Onda de frio não é um romance sobre drogas e álcool, nem uma descida aos infernos do vício. Sequer é um romance sobre a crise econômica ou sobre como esta mudou a fisionomia da cidade de Madri para sempre.
