In a future so close that it seems only a deformation of the main features of our present and our lifestyle; In a world in which a veil of forgetfulness, negation and suspicion has fallen on the past (marked by an unknown and nameless catastrophe, taboo, to which people refer with the euphemistic conjurer of "What happened, if Happened '); In a society in which normality is a hidden tyranny resulting from soft impositions, a proliferation of taste for the same and a slow abolition of differences, a man and a woman, for whom their respective pasts are strange and forgetful, They know each other and fall in love. And with that love begins or ends everything. But has it really been a chance encounter? What follows is a path full of tenderness, uncertainty, melancholy, paranoia and terror. A journey to the root of helplessness. Kevan Cohen has never known why his father put two fingers on his lips every time he uttered a word beginning with "j," and he never considered it appropriate to ask, for neither now nor then was it right to ask. The origins of Ailinn Solomons have always remained in the shadow and that shadow continues to accompany it. Will they learn to trust each other and abandon the fear that grips them or is their relationship the ultimate trap? As we progress in reading this fascinating novel, Man Booker finalist in 2014, we will confirm what we have always suspected: normality is the most disturbing and terrifying of countries. Normality is pure dystopia.
