Las breves historias que se cuentan en este libro tienen como escenario el verano, un tiempo de mudanzas y de grandes expectativas, y por tanto de sorpresas y desilusiones. Con una narrativa ágil y una mirada aguda hacia el perfil psicológico y social de cada personaje, teñida de una mezcla de lirismo y humor, la autora nos invita a caminar por ciudades vacías que se pueblan de soledades nuevas, de las que surgen carreteras y viajeros cuyos destinos el azar entrecruza. Una becaria describe desde la cárcel cómo perdió la inocencia en su trabajo de verano. Una discusión sobre el aire acondicionado cambia para siempre la vida de una pareja. La elegante anciana que intenta abanicarse en la penumbra de su gran piso madrileño saca de apuros a un chico en Lima. Al ver iluminarse una piscina, una mujer decide ejecutar una venganza. Un dictador sube al poder en África y nadie lee la extraña noticia que llega a los chiringuitos, escrita por un corresponsal desesperado. La música une a través de un patio a dos seres solitarios que escapan del calor durmiendo cada noche en la terraza, mientras una mujer rumbo a Mallorca y el taxista que la lleva cantan juntos una vieja canción veraniega. La existencia de unos y otros se agita en el ardor del asfalto, en heladas burbujas de aire acondicionado, en la engañosa felicidad de una piscina, en el miedo a la llegada de septiembre o en un paraíso de la costa que oculta un triste secreto.
