A sad and alcoholic man in search of "a woman to live and to die with, to love and to grow old with," and her, a girl who feels invaded by "the other one," the new woman in her fathers life: an ugly woman who finds any means to feel beautiful. Once again, Montero shows the luminous and selfish side of the soul through stories with a common ground: the complexity of human relationships. Those who have had lovers and/or enemies will identify with these short stories, which are for enjoying and to reflect upon.
