Introduction
Andrea’s attempts to locate her biological mother is derailed by unexpected news, and in her search for answers she becomes increasingly unsure of who she can trust. As it moves from present-day Madrid to early-21st-century Buenos Aires, past and present intersect to uncanny effect, unsettling notions of what is real, what is inherited and what might just be imagined.
