Una gran tela de araña de historias que unen el espacio mítico de la tradición literaria gallega con algo tremendamente actual, que es el sentimiento de orfandad.
Los círculos ocultos de la realidad emergen como espirales de humo, en inolvidables imágenes poéticas, pero también en forma de rachas de viento y lluvia, de tormentas que desvelan perturbadores secretos y vidas conmovedoras.
La señora del pazo, Misia, cuenta cómo los trescientos cuervos que dibujan el paisaje del cielo son los poetas-guerreros del último rey de Galicia. Un sacerdote, Don Xil, explica a una joven campesina, Rosa, que las pinturas de las hermosísimas mujeres que se descubren en las paredes de la iglesia son retratos de pecadoras. Un ratón, Matacáns, cazador furtivo en su primera vida, es atrapado por un gato que no es otro que el gaitero y anarquista Arturo de Lousame. Un murciélago, Gaspar, relata su suicidio a un lagarto que va en peregrinación a San Andrés de Teixido...
Todo habla. Personas y animales recrean la identidad universal del sentimiento. Viajan del pasado al presente y contra la adversidad. Y sus voces, hechas de humor y ternura, entretejen esta gran novela.
