El escritor de novela juvenil Mauricio Ballart recibe un día, de parte de su amigo Tomás Hidalgo, el manuscrito que su prima encontró por casualidad en la casa de campo que tiene con su marido en Burgo de Osma, y en la que residió durante cuarenta años un ingeniero. El manuscrito, de autoría desconocida y narrado por una voz femenina llamada Leonor, excita la curiosidad y la imaginación de los Hidalgo, pues todo en él parece tocado por el misterio. Tomás decide ponerlo en las manos expertas de su amigo para que les ilumine, y a su vez, le anima a reescribirlo y publicarlo. Esta historia dentro de una historia dentro de una historia es en verdad un juego de espejos donde los rostros de los narradores se multiplican mientras la voz de la autora parece deslizarse por todos ellos, grácil y escurridiza, para que el lector no consiga atraparla. En ella, Soledad Puértolas rinde homenaje a la ficción, y, con su prosa fina y caudalosa, ordena el caos y lo hace armonioso, para llevarnos a la luz y el calor con el que solo los clásicos suelen resguardarnos.

Tomás decides to put it in the expert hands of his friend to enlighten them, and in turn, encourages him to rewrite and publish it. This story within a story within a story is truly a game of mirrors where the faces of the narrators multiply while the author's voice seems to slide through all of them, graceful and elusive, so that the reader cannot catch it. In it, Soledad Puértolas pays tribute to fiction, and, with her fine and abundant prose, she orders the chaos and makes it harmonious, to take us to the light and warmth with which only the classics usually protect us.
