Adrián writes demanding books of his own and, to make a living, biographies and columns to order. His fairly calm family life ends when Nora, a young prostitute, comes to him wanting her life story recorded and written. Their meetings and taping sessions turn into mutual discovery, then intimacy, the collapse of Adrián's family and a series of psychological confrontations between two very different, yet somewhat similar, people who both sell their intimacy. The novel alternates Adrián's diary, Nora's free-flowing recorded monologues, passages from the book Adrián never finishes and, in the second part, Nora's own diary, showing how differently a man and a woman experience love and living together.
