Escrito a ratos desde el desgarro, y siempre desde la emoción, este libro es la crónica íntima de la España de las últimas décadas, pero también una narración sobre todo aquello que nos recuerda que somos seres vulnerables, sobre la necesidad de levantarnos y seguir adelante cuando nada parece hacerlo posible, cuando casi todos los lazos que nos unían a los demás han desaparecido o los hemos roto. Y sobrevivimos

Pushkin nunca tuvo una nieta, o acaso la desconocemos, por eso este libro de cuentos es dos cosas: la audacia de la búsqueda de personajes azarosos, perdidos y esenciales, y un viaje hacia territorios desconocidos. Los escenarios son múltiples: de La Habana al desierto del Rajastán, de Saint-Nazaire a Teherán, de Rusia a Miami o Lima. El hilo conductor es el tiempo, la nostalgia, la pérdida, pero también la aventura, el humor, y la recuperación...
