The smell of bread and terror. The weight of the words and the past. How do you carry them all in one body? What to say to anyone who wonders if it was worth it and what to prepare for the great dinner that will be the last? To what extent we are sisters and how long the friendship left to wither may last; how many drinks there would be, how many planes burnt in the air.

Questions like that are in the minds of the protagonists of Miriam Luki´s first book of stories. The writer has observed the edges of relationships between lovers, friends, relatives, and classes in these nine stories, noting that, through the silence of silence, something cracks at last and a flash of light comes in, goes or stays, realizing that it is not necessary to decide.
