Marta, a translator who has just been left by her husband, and Alicia, a young secretary with a past marked by drug use, share confidences and reflections on their lives.

Marta, a translator by profession, carries the weight of a recent divorce and a conventional, submissive married life. Alicia, younger and with a risk-taking personality, is a former drug addict who dropped out of philosophy studies and works as a secretary at the law firm handling Marta's divorce. During their stay, both reflect on their pasts and their respective families. Freed from her old role, Marta resumes an old project: rewriting traditional children's stories. Alicia, with her restlessness, becomes a source of inspiration that stokes Marta's imagination, forcing her to confront aspects of herself she had never wanted to acknowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFemale self-discovery after a romantic breakup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConfronting the past and personal wounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReinventing identity and overcoming imposed roles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFriendship as a catalyst for change and creativity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReinterpreting children's tales as a healing tool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis novel is aimed at readers interested in contemporary fiction with a strong psychological and introspective component.
