"Volvi para sentir que era capaz de soltarme en el vacio, de caer para ser -al fin- libre. Aunque se trate de una libertad inutil, aunque sea para ser libre solo en el instante que dure la caida." Despues de veinte anos una mujer vuelve a la Argentina, de donde partio escapando de una desgracia. Pero la que regresa es otra: no luce igual, su voz es diferente. Ni siquiera lleva el mismo nombre. La reconoceran quienes la conocieron entonces? La reconocera el? Mary Lohan, Marile Lauria o Maria Elena Pujol -la que es, la que fue, la que habia sido alguna vez- vuelve al suburbio de Buenos Aires donde formo una familia y vivio hasta que decidio huir. Aun no termina de entender por que acepto regresar al pasado que se habia propuesto olvidar para siempre. Pero a medida que lo comprenda, entre encuentros esperados y revelaciones inesperadas, entendera tambien que a veces la vida no es ni destino ni casualidad: tal vez su regreso no sea otra cosa que una suerte pequena. Claudia Pineiro sorprende y cautiva con esta novela aguda y conmovedora donde la realidad y la intimidad tejen la cerrada urdimbre en que el lector queda atrapado una vez mas.
