The dizzying speed with which a peaceful gathering of young people turned into a cruel coven had provided substance for a river of reflections on Martín's part; a river, exactly a river: reflections that had varied according to his age in the same way that a flow moves between lowland and mountain landscapes, changing along with them. José María Ridao's novel is a journey through the memory of its protagonists, a journey to childhood, a journey to the recollection of friendships and loves diluted over time, blurred like that profile of the African coast that can be glimpsed through the haze from the terrace of a harbor bar.
