April 11, 1970. Argentine singer Sandro will become the first Latin American artist to perform at Madison Square Garden, and Gloria will be one of the lucky attendees at that fabled concert. She is twenty years old when she walks down the electric streets of New York City, which invite you to forget everything you know and learn it all over again. Disappointments will come, but not today: this could be a perfect day. Decades later, Solano looks back on his mother's early years and realizes that her youth and his, both marked by New York City at the same age, were not so different. With an outlook that is optimistic but not without its darkness, and in a prose as sincere as it is sophisticated, he retraces the moment when his mother discovered that love is a perpetual game of tightrope on the edge of a precipice. This book filled with emotion is about beginnings, and about all the possible futures of a woman stemming from one day in her life.
