"A magnificent novel, a profound and inspiring text that resolves itself with the apparent simplicity that only comes with technical mastery." — Pablo Martínez Zarracina, El Correo Español

"A beautiful novel that takes us into the world of conflicting points of view, of ethics and aesthetics, of moral turpitude in politics… the unmistakable and diaphanous echo of a great story that makes no concession to the gallery."—Á. M. Salazar, Deia

"One of those books that stays in your memory for a long time after reading." — Ramón Jiménez, La Opinión de Murcia
