In their youth, Gabriel Arist and Adriana Zuber believed that their love would last forever. However, fate had different plans for them. Separated for fifty years by a wall of contradictions, deprivations, and deceptions, the heroes ultimately found themselves truly divided...
by an ocean: Adriana fell into the trap of a dictatorial regime, and after its fall, remained in her native Spain; Gabriel, on the other hand, moved to the United States, where he achieved professional recognition and success. And one day, at the twilight of their lives, these two met… Significant glances, suppressed desires, and old grievances soon lead them to the realization that nostalgia for first love has also become for each of them a nostalgia for the people they were in their youth. A novel about memory and oblivion, fidelity and betrayal, the destructive impact of time, as well as the power of love and its mirages. A touching story of doomed passion and a beautiful, delicately written portrait of old age. After many years, Antonio Muñoz Molina returns to literature with a magnificent novel filled with musical prose.
