Summary

Psychological thriller with high emotional impact

Marta is a fragile and problematic girl, Stefano a man who had to give up the love of his life, Greta is  lucid and calculator, accused of murder. Personalities that apparently have only one thing in common: they have witnessed events on the edge of rational understanding. Love, magic and mystery will be opposed to the violence inherent in each of them. Stella, the protagonist, will try to elaborate a traumatic experience that she lived as a child with the help of a psychiatrist. But the result of that elaboration, will destabilize her to the point of bringing out in her the ancient beliefs and legends of Yoruba, of the Cuban village where she was born and lives with her mother and grandmother. Four stories that intersect each other in an extraordinary way, four characters that lead the reader to think that their reality is a mirror that more or less accurately reflects the outside world without realizing, on the contrary, that the mind itself is the main element of creation.

    The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.The Impasse: The Ulymas Organisation was located in a sprawl of dilapidated buildings on the far west side of the city. None of the structures were more than four floors high and the exteriors were of bland, whitewashed brickwork, the paint flaking away from the walls.
