One of the most important Ecuadorian writers of our times develops with the frantic movement of an equestrian race, a gamble with glory, life and death. Articulated with the precision of a clock, this novel contains the difficult and exciting flavor of intrigue, splashed with a violence that is felt and grasped. Vásconez composes a fresco of complex, intense, painful and irreducible loves, a tenderness that accepts any challenge, and a reality that becomes universal.
