Y un alegato contra las fronteras que separan a los países y a los individuos...Utilizando de manera personalísima los recursos del realismo mágico esta saga familiar que recorre todo el siglo XX, combina genialmente lo cómico y lo fantástico, la invención y la narración histórica, y crea, con todo ello, un conjunto desbordante de vitalidad.
