Daria es la hija, cuyo destino está marcado desde el nacimiento por un diagnóstico erróneo. Ada es la madre, que en el umbral de los cincuenta descubre que está enferma, pero este hallazgo se convierte en una oportunidad para dirigirse a su hija y tratar de contarle la historia de ambas. De este modo, todo pasa por los cuerpos de Ada y Daria: peleas diarias, enfados, secretos, pero también inesperadas alegrías y momentos de muchísima ternura. Las palabras atraviesan el tiempo, en un continuo ir y venir entre pasado y presente. Un relato de una fuerza y verdad extraordinarias, en el que cada instante se ofrece al lector como un regalo: una lectura que nos cambia, que nos desgarra y nos rehace.
