"A powerful cocktail made with the mixture of exact doses of José Donoso and Dan Brown--is the triumph of this painful and tender, sweet and perverse, entertaining and profound novel, which is also ambitious and accurate" Iván Thays, El Vocero
Why does someone, instead of fleeing from the fire, which would be natural, run to meet it? The young Sofia, with a remarkable mathematical intelligence, belonging to the bourgeoisie of Puerto Rico, lives in a beautiful blue mansion and is the granddaughter of a very powerful man. However, it's all a façade. The house has been taken over by the illness of his mother, Pandora, who suffers from Diogenes Syndrome and has turned the mansion into a garbage dump full of cockroaches and bad smell. His grandfather becomes more and more sinister, his father Alberto lives locked in the bubble of "I don't mess with anyone" and his adored grandmother Marta has just committed suicide. If Sofia wants to twist her destiny, she must perform a risky, unprecedented act and that is what she does: she runs away from home and begins a story that brings her closer to burning and unsuspected truths about her family and her own identity. To find the truth, Sofia must enter the very center of the fire.
