With brilliant prose, Julia Rendón Abrahamson portrays the life of a separated mother in New York. A young Ecuadorian woman has a daughter with a Catalan banker and in the midst of today's broken society she seeks a way to redeem the family emigration dating back to World War II, from Nazi-occupied Vienna. A powerful repertoire of uncontrollable images of family memory jump to the consciousness of the day to day of a New York life marked by heartbreak, upbringing, the search for a new life. Thought tries to weave a discourse that functions as a protective blanket while a vital impulse of youth dominates his sexual, love and family experiences.
