"Una campesina española envía a su hija de quince años a la Argentina de Perón. Quiere sacarla de la miseria, y le promete que pronto la seguirá toda su familia. Pero algo falla, nadie viene, y la chica queda atrapada en un país hostil, donde crece, se casa, lucha contra su destino y sufre el destierro más cruel. Después de muchos años deja de sufrir y se hace argentina. Entonces sus hijos y nietos le anuncian que quieren irse a vivir a España para huir de la depresión económica, y todo vuelve a empezar."--,Penguinrandomhouse.
