SYNOPSIS

Diego jumps from a fifth floor, and from that moment on, the image is drilled into his sister’s mind: six seconds and a body crashing against the ground. She is the one who looks back and tells the story of the two siblings. Their arrival to the world in a home where life was never fair. The years spent in Mexico with their grandparents while their mother looked for a new life in Spain and she took care of Diego despite still being a young girl herself. The time spent in Madrid, a city they didn’t understand and that didn’t understand them either. Their first separation, when she left for Barcelona to find her own way and her brother stayed in the place he hated the most. And her return, with Diego’s ashes in hand, to a Mexico that was very different to the one she remembered. This novel tells the story of a young woman’s emotional journey as she intuits the reasons behind her brother’s suicide and explores her own Ulysses syndrome.
