Tomando como punto de partida una calle poco transitada de Madrid y a un personaje que ha ido limitando el escenario de su vida a su piso y su calle, Soledad Puértolas va trazando el relato de diversas vidas, marcadas por la pasión, los amores clandestinos, la ambición artística, el desconcierto, la búsqueda de la felicidad. Y las vidas, conforme se desarrolla el relato, van trazando un dibujo de forma circular, porque ninguna vida se acaba del todo mientras pueda mezclarse, trenzarse con las otras. Es cierto, como nos dice el narrador, citando a Quevedo, que «solamente lo fugitivo permanece y dura». Son precisamente los momentos fugaces en los que se percibe la belleza los que trazan el dibujo que relaciona a los personajes. El tiempo es sabio y quizá clemente. Avanza en varias direcciones para dejar en el aire un vago mensaje de armonía, un apoyo para que la búsqueda de la belleza, del amor, de la felicidad, no resulte tan ardua, para que la esperanza de un encuentro perfecto, ideal, se mantenga viva.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
