A nine-year-old girl eagerly awaits the most important moment in her young life: her first communion. Maybe then everything will change, along with the metro that is coming to her Barcelona neighborhood of Carmelo. The construction workers digging up the streets will finally be gone. Her parents might reconcile, after years of a loveless marriage filled with financial problems. And she could finally be the protagonist of her own life. But a few months before the big day, in January 2005, everything comes crashing down. Death and abandonment strike, and a sinkhole swallows part of the neighborhood and changes Carmelo's history forever. In this skillful blend of reality and fiction, Maria Roig has crafted exciting story that is both personal and collective, intimate and political.
