Varias mujeres retratan a un hombre fascinante y magnéticoLa viuda de Ramiro Pinilla encarga a un periodista que entreviste a las mujeres que su compañero conoció a lo largo de los años. Quiere descubrir asuntos ignorados de su vida, pero sobre todo desea calmar sus celos retrospectivos, pues son muchas las que siendo jovenes fueron sus amigas y sus confidentes. Poco a poco las conversaciones de esas "damiselas" no solo van a descubrir historias inesperadas, sino que completan como un caleidoscopio la biografia de el, y confirman su personalidad magnetica y hospitalaria, libre y genial.

Una obra original, deliciosa y dolorosa, que es ya la consagracion literaria de Maria Bengoa.
