Centered on a family story that begins in Maracaibo, the novel follows a man who becomes a doctor and the fate of his family as it intertwines with the political upheavals of twentieth-century Venezuela. It is a richly scaled saga in which legend and history, family history and national history, flow together.

A family's memory rewrites a nation's history into one story.
