A collection of 'triovellas', stories in three parts that fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Most often the story begun in the first part continues and its hero finds himself in a new historical period or situation; sometimes a shared motif links the parts, or the same event is seen from three different points of view. Rooted in realism and often funny, with a flash of the fantastic now and then, the stories keep surprising the reader and open unexpected depths in lives that look simple at first.
