Summary:
"El extravagante Bobby Serna - solitario y arrogante lector de Nietzsche - se ha suicidado a sus cincuenta años. Renato - su mejor amigo, un viajero escéptico, de retorno en Chile - y las cuatro hermanas Serna, cuatro caracteres fuertes, recorren la historia del amigo y hermano muerto, pero más que nada sus propias vidas: es la hora de los balances, de revisar cómo lo han hecho, la suerte que han tenido y so no han estropeado también las suyas. Moira - la segunda hermana - y Renato - el amigo y narrador - han protagonizado desde la adolescencia una intermitente historia de amor recorrida por los tiempos históricos, por sus intrincadas peripecias vitales, y buscan ahora - viudo él, separada ella - tal vez una oportunidad, alguna forma de redención para ambos. ¿Estará el eestino de su lado?" -- Back cover.
"The eccentric Bobby Serna—a solitary and arrogant reader of Nietzsche—has committed suicide at fifty. Renato—his best friend, a skeptical traveler, back in Chile—and the four Serna sisters, four strong personalities, revisit the story of their dead friend and brother, but more than anything, their own lives: it's a time for taking stock, for reviewing how they've fared, the luck they've had, and whether they haven't also ruined their own. Moira—the second sister—and Renato—the friend and narrator—have been the protagonists of an intermittent love story since adolescence, a story traversed by historical periods and their intricate life twists and turns, and now—he a widower, she separated—they seek perhaps an opportunity, some form of redemption for both of them. Will destiny be on their side?" -- Back cover, cataloger's translation.
