Abierto toda la noche
As Ambrose Bierce said: the home is the only place open all night.
In this first novel by David Trueba, the home belongs to the Belitres, a family as numerous as it is absurd. In this account of sentimental education, the reader will follow the Belitres through a series of situations of high comedy and dark melodrama, rercreating the mark of a family made up of of absurd, funny and tragic characters.
