Three short novellas, each complete in itself yet crossing the others, bring real people to life. Sigmund Freud and Thomas Mann, and the relationship between the two men, are at the heart of the book. So is Júlia Mann, mother of Thomas and Heinrich, who came from Brazil and lived a hard and deeply unhappy life in Germany, where she was treated as inferior for her mixed blood, her South American birth and her not being German: a portrait of the Eurocentric prejudice of Europe before the Second World War.
