Ā«DĆ³nde estaba mi sangre de horchata ahoraĀ».

Su hermano parece saber cosas que a ella le oculta todo el mundo.

BelĆ©n is sixteen years old and lives in a house of crazy people. Her father, very old and in a wheelchair, insists on starting to organize his enormous inheritance. Her brother seems to know things that everyone hides from her. Thereās also the problem that is her mother: who calls every now and then with bad coverage and does not visit the brothers since they were little, after she suffered an episode that ended in hospitalization. BelĆ©n just wants everything to be normal and follow the advice she has heard since she was a child: āHorchata blood, darling. Whatever happens, you must be cold-bloodedā.

With the rhythm of a comedy and dramatic airs, Luisa Castro weaves a great novel about the breakup of a family and what we will never know about others: what happens behind closed doors.
