Rosa is forty, a child of the main railway station who still feels closer to trains than to city buses: all it takes is a run-up and a leap aboard. Her story is pieced together from fragments, hints and memories, a compact, restless account built on the conviction that skipping out and seeking adventure lie at the heart of a creative life. Time is bent and space is never quite pinned down as the narrative jumps between moments.
