The book starts with a quotation of a piece of news from a real situation in Argentina, about a girl who killed her father and then killed herself, burning the room where she was.
The story is about a boy, named Martín, a strange boy, he was never interested in the life because everything was the same for him, nothing interesting happens in the real life, that’s happens just in books he thought. His friend Bruno, apparently older than Martín, he had more experience about life than his friend, and usually talk about all the things with the main character. In addition, almost at the beginning of the story, appeared Alejandra, a weird girl, her beauty was completely amazing, nothing compared with other girls. She was sort of mysterious and striking at the same time, because of that, Martín decided to follow her, until he realized that could be quiet weird, so he stopped. It was something no-named, like if she was trying to say something with her eyes, in any way she was trying to express something to Martín, that was the most interesting. Martín was not the same than before, he had changed. Days after, the boy went to the same place where he looked at her, waiting for her, completely anxious and nervous as well. Suddenly, he could see her, walking toward him, Martín was stunned, nevertheless, she walks toward him and say: I was waiting for you. They started to talk -actually just her, because the boy was stunned-. After that, Alejandra says that they will talk once more, Martín felt in love with her inmediatly.
Martín waited in the same place for days, however, she never came again. Martín took the decision of going to the coast and work with a fisherman, due to he was not in the town, with his friends, his father and Alejandra. Also, Martín did not get along with his father, and when he arrived again had a sorta argue with him, even though, he never lost the idea of seeing Alejandra again, until he went to sleep out of his house, and when he was sleeping appeared she, waking up to Martín, she showed to him her house, the way of living of her family, and everything.
After all the things with Alejandra -just to write a brief summary of the book-, Martín and Bruno concluded about the life and love, there is no truth in the life, and that showed at me the bitter side of the story and about the life. Besides, the kind of relationship that Alejandra and Martín had, started to decay, the boy did not know if Alejandra, while she was with him, was happy, and Bruno apparently understood the questions which has Martín. She really was happy while Martín was with her? that is the question that Bruno and Martín have, after the suicide of Alejandra, and knowing the caos she had on her mind.
