Summary:

Cuatro relatos se sumergen en los vericuetos de la vejez. Desde la
historia de dos ancianas que forman una familia ad hoc hasta el
trance de una mujer humilde que lucha por encontrarse a sí misma en
una casa acomodada, pasando por las peripecias de la esposa de un
dictador o por el sino del hijo bastardo de una mujer casada y un
militar británico. Cuatro visiones tiernas pero crudas, reales pero
fantásticas, sobre el inevitable proceso de senectud. / Nobel Prize
of Literature 2007. A political allegory with futuristic touches; a
Londoner social drama of race and class; a relationship in which the
passion in war time becomes a shriveled obsession in the postwar
period and a mortal trap in the bosom of two families erotically
entwined. The New York Times.
