Description: "Pluralistic novel wherein four characters take turns voicing their interpretations of family activities. A young couple Daniel and Débora live together with his parents. The mother, paralyzed and mute after a stroke, reveals her thoughts to her nurse, who informs reader that her patient is aware of household events, including the affair between her husband and her daughter-in-law. Novel's structure, fragmented among characters, skillfully reveals and hides the façade and subterranean passages in this story of a middle-class urban family"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
