A mature and exultant novel about love. An original seismographic record of the body and memory. An art object in the form of poetic and precise prose.

Like every year, renowned sculptor Alexis de Maura opens the doors of Youkali, his oceanfront mansion, to welcome the country's most promising young artists. But fate, capricious, suddenly emerges in the form of Rubén Priego, an enigmatic and talented gardener who will change the course of their lives.

Elegant and precise, Antonio MUtrera tackles the classic theme of love with a clear and raw beauty. A novel compared to Call me by your name (André Aciman) and Death in Venice (Thomas Mann).
