"La narradora dice: yo no sé si en esta vida las decisiones las tomo yo o ellas me toman a mí. Creo que más bien ha sido esto último. A mí las cosas me han sucedido: éste me empujó, aquél me jaló, uno me ofreció, otro me arrebató. Yo sólo obedecí y no tuve nada que ver; y se pregunta: o sí tuve?"
"A powerful novel about life in contemporary Mexico. Susana is an innocent young woman who comes to Mexico City a few days after her wedding. Within moments of her arrival, her naivete makes her a target for a brutal mugging. Despite this and other unfortunate events, Susana manages to maintain her positive outlook on life by learning about her surroundings and her fellow citizens."
"Educated to lead a domestic and tranquil life, Susana has lived the opposite: a life full of torment and suffering. She is locked in a mental institution, and her breasts are removed due to a misdiagnosis of cancer. As she looks back, she wonders if she made bad decisions or if the decisions chose her."
