"Emilio es un adolescente que trabaja por las mañanas como aprendiz de mecánico en un lóbrego taller y estudia por las tardes en una academia. Un día aparece su primo Raimundo, que vuelve de París y le cuenta sus éxitos como guitarrista de flamenco. Emilio se deja arrastrar por el señuelo de la vida bohemia que éste le promete y aprende a tocar la guitarra con la esperanza, que no la convicción, de escapar del taller y las clases. Lo que no puede imaginar es que su recién adquirida pericia con las cuerdas le pondrá en contacto con la mujer de su patrón, una joven despampanante y extrañamente fatal, a quien se ve obligado a dar clases de guitarra.--Desde la descripción del editorial."
"Um extraordinário romance em tom autobiográfico, narrado na primeira pessoa, sobre a vida de um rapaz adolescente na Madrid dos anos franquistas de setenta. Emílio, jovem adolescente, leva uma existência cansativa e aborrecida, entre os estudos à tarde e o trabalho numa oficina de automóveis pela manhã, vivendo esse "labirinto de instantes, de promessas" próprio da idade, consumido pelo desejo de se libertar e tomar o controlo do seu destino. Um dia, o seu primo Raimundo regressa de Paris e conta-lhe o sucesso que causou como guitarrista de flamenco. Emílio deixa-se enfeitic̦ar pela vida boémia do primo e decide aprender a tocar guitarra. Ao tomar conhecimento do novo talento de Emílio, o patrão pede-lhe que dê aulas à sua esposa, Adriana, uma jovem femme fatale. --publisher's website."
