Clara Obligado nos ofrece cuentos de desarraigos, exilios, partidas y retornos, de encuentros y desencuentros. Cuentos desgarrados, intensos, sin embargo vitales y esperanzadores, alternan la tragedia y la comedia, lo real y lo irreal, la otredad con que todos convivimos, nuestras "otra vidas". Escritos, como dice la autora, "desde ningún lugar y desde varios a la vez", estos relatos nos interrogan sobre el destino, sobre qué hubiera sucedido si, en lugar de un camino, hubiésemos tomado otro.
