Summary:

"La historia de Ismael empieza con una llamada de teléfono que prefiere no coger. En vez de hacerlo, ese caluroso día de julio en Madrid decide salir de casa mientras recuerda el relato de su vida, de su familia y de su maldición: una rara enfermedad hereditaria que podría padecer y cuya sombra le acecha desde niño. Ismael ha aceptado su destino, pero un robo inesperado, una persecución policial y una amistad imposible están a punto de demostrarle que, si bien todos los finales felices se parecen, los infelices lo son cada uno a su manera. Alberto García-Salido nos sumerge en las veinticuatro horas que cambiarán para siempre al protagonista de esta emotiva, divertida y frenética novela escrita con el pulso de la vida misma, a partir de aquellos momentos que no se planifican"--Page 4 of cover.

The story of Ismael begins with a phone call he'd rather not take. Instead of picking up that hot July day in Madrid, he decides to leave his home while remembering his life story, his family, and his curse: a rare hereditary disease that he might suffer, a shadow that has haunted him since he was a boy. Ismael has accepted his fate, but an unexpected robbery, a police chase, and an impossible friendship are about to show him that, even if all happy endings are alike, the unhappy ones are unhappy in their own way. Alberto García-Salido takes us through those twenty-four hours that forever changed the protagonist of this soulful, entertaining, frantic novel, written with the pulse of life itself and from those moments no one can plan.
