More than the story that holds no more surprises, so that keeps the reader alert and glued to the pages of the book is the deep poetic and descriptive narrative.
Leon, an attorney dedicated to ugly start reconstruction of the life of Alfonso and his relationship with Josephine. To that end he reads the newspaper Alfonso survives and is able to read between the lines the real feelings and concerns that lie behind their comments.
Josephine, still alive, I get to tell her story but she is gradually losing his memory. Leo strives to rescue the last glow of history, the memories of a broken love affair, a passion cut short, and life with a mother punishing cold.
The nicest of the book, besides the beautiful descriptions and deep reflection is intimate and mature tone with which Gonzalez tries to capture a moment, that in which we try to stop an instant nostalgia, perpetuate a feeling, a smell, a feeling, when the nature of themselves is futile, graceful transient.
the end, Leon burns his huge manuscript, undo the effort because the writing would be an end in itself, then read the story that has the double characteristic of destroying himself but there before our eyes.
The book aims then set the memories to make sense of a love story in which there are two versions lived very different, is the attempt to salvage something "before I forget."
