- "Verano de 1986. Ulises, de trece años, abandona la ciudad con sus abuelos después de la recaída de su padre en la heroína. Con las calles revueltas por la reconversión del sector naval en Galicia, una isla frente a la costa parece el mejor destino para un adolescente. Allí se hará amigo de Toya y Onehuevo, cuyos padres también han sufrido los embates de la droga. Como venganza, entre los tres planean matar a Leónidas, un narcotrafi cante que opera en la isla. Y, mientras llevan a cabo su objetivo, un Ulises adulto refl exionará sobre el pasado y las cicatrices que la emigración, el narcotráfi co y la crisis han dejado en varias generaciones."-- back cover.
- "Summer of 1986. Thirteen-year-old Ulises leaves the city with his grandparents after his father has a heroin relapse. With the streets in a riot after the reconversion of Galicia’s shipbuilding sector, an offshore island seems like the best destination for a teen. There he will befriend Toya and Onehuevo, whose parents have also suffered the onslaught of drugs. In retaliation, the three of them plan to kill Leonidas, a drug dealer operating on the island. And while they carry out their objective, a grownup Ulises reflects on the past and on the scars that migration, drug trade, and economical crises have left on many generations."-- from publisher.
