Annotation "Following her mother's sudden death, Casandra inherits the apartment where she spent her childhood. Although she doesn't see her mother's body, she has nightmares about it for days, almost as long as it takes her to clean the apartment, go through its contents, and throw out the family photos from which her mother cut out her own face. To have some time alone, Casandra and her boyfriend, Fernando, move into the apartment, despite the secrets and resentments that lurk there. As they soon discover, they must also contend with the peculiarities and demands of their elderly neighbors in the building. Cassandra especially, like her mother before her, is on the receiving end of their orders and critiques, thinly disguised as recommendations. Alienated by her isolation and haunted by the ghosts of the past, Casandra feels her world shrink as she and Fernando grow apart. Is her life taking the same course as her mother's?" -- Provided by publisher. -- Some strong language. Spanish language.
"Casandra heredó el departamento de su infancia, luego de la inesperada muerte de su madre. No vio el cadáver, pero lo soñó por días. Casi los mismos que le tomó ordenar las pertenencias y limpiar el espacio, deshacerse de aquellas fotos familiares que mamá había recortado para amputar su propio rostro. Bajo la promesa de estar sólo por un tiempo, Casandra y su novio, Fernando, se instalan en aquel departamento aún habitado por rencores y secretos. Ambos deben lidia; además, con las manías y exigencias de las vecinas ancianas del antiguo edificio; sobre todo,Casandra, a quien critican y dan órdenes disfrazadas de recomendaciones tal como lo hacían con mamá. Cada vez más alejada de Fernando, enajenada por el encierro y atada a los fantasmas del pasado, Casandra siente que su mundo se estrecha en un cerco de fronteras nebulosas. ¿Estará convirtiéndose en ella, en mamá?" -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Contiene algo de lenguaje ofensivo.
