"It seems that a suicide in the family proves what people always suspected, that madness runs in our genes, that we are biblically lost." Six months ago, Grandma Carmen cut her wrists in the bathtub and still nobody knows why. Today, her four granddaughters return to the townhouse where she died, and which they have inherited. Lis is recuperating from a breakdown she suffered then and there, and just wants to sell the house and move on. Her sister, Erica, dreams of hosting spiritual retreats and botanical tours. Olivia, Lis and Erica's cousin, and the eldest of all four granddaughters, is a cardiologist who looks through every drawer for any clue that might explain their grandmother's demise. On the other hand, Nora, the messed-up sister, plans to let her dealer use the house to store his merchandise. Four young women and a common legacy to unravel--a house or a curse that runs in their genes? "A great storyteller that is also a great thinker." --Javier Rodríguez Marcos, El País
