Summary
Neighbors in a neighborhood like any other -- what might they have to go through in these difficult times? This novel tells the stories of many lives: a family that returns from vacation determined not to change their routine, a newly divorced man heard crying behind a partition, a grandmother who sets the Christmas tree up early to cheer up her family, a woman who decides to reinvent herself and return to the country to live on the land that fed her ancestors...in the barbershop and the bar, in office buildings and health clinics, all these neighbors will experience bittersweet moments of unexpected solidarity, of indignation and rage, of tenderness and tenacity.
