"'He visto una foto de mi padre joven, la mejor de sus fotos. Tiene veintiséis años, viste un traje de lino claro que el aire infla. Está de pie en una playa de guijarros y arena revuelta, junto a una muchacha de talle alto y piernas largas. Dentro de unos años, esa muchacha será mi madre.' La foto anticipa y esconde la historia de una familia. Siguiendo los brillos que esa foto abre en su memoria, Héctor Aguilar Camín ha producido un texto de entrañable intimidad y transparencia sobre las huellas familiares, sobre la urgencia personal de una narrativa capaz de decir quiénes fueron tus padres, cómo se conocieron tus padres, por qué se casaron, por qué se separaron, por qué fueron como fueron y por qué eres como eres"--Page 4 of cover.

"'I've seen a photo of my father: the best photo of him. He is 26 years old, wearing a light-colored linen suit that is blowing in the breeze. He is standing on a beach of pebbles and rough sand, next to a high-waisted, long-legged woman. A few years after that, this woman would become my mother.' The photo both foresees and hides the story of a family. Following the gleam that this photo unearths in his memory, Héctor Aguilar Camín has produced a text of fond intimacy and transparency about a family's past, about the personal urgency for a narrative capable of telling who your [parents] were, how your parents met, why they got married, why they separated, why they were the way they were, and why you are the way you are"--Amazon.com.
