After 10 years together, María and Emiliano are separating. What was it that drove them apart?  A lack of desire? The mundane day-to-day? María, a bundle of nerves after the rupture, speaks of her pain, the changes, and what she cannot divorce from her one love. In an intimate and frank manner, the novel addresses the pain that lingers after a romantic break-up and the issue of reconstructing yourself.
