Description
En un barrio residencial de Lima con vistas al mar languidecen unos ancianos de clase acomodada. Frasia, acuciada por sus necesidades econ̤micas, pues tiene que sacar adelante a su hijo Nico, se ha ido convirtiendo en compą̕a imprescindible para algunos de ellos. Si consiguiera juntar diez cuyes, el dinero para comprar diez conejillos de Indias, podr̕a, seg͠n le dijo siempre su t̕o, empezar una nueva vida. As̕, todos los d̕as cruza la ciudad en transporte p͠blico para asistir a Dǫa Bertha, que adem̀s de ayuda dom̌stica necesita un apoyo extra porque en los ͠ltimos tiempos anda baja de ̀nimo y casi no tiene contacto con su hija. Frasia es muy buena en eso, y es tanta la fama de su buen hacer que en poco tiempo empieza a trabajar, en el mismo edificio, para Jack Morrison, m̌dico jubilado y viudo, aficionado al jazz y al whisky e inmerso en una soledad que le oprime el alma. Algo m̀s tarde tambǐn lo har̀ en la residencia del barrio, donde un grupo de residentes han formado una familia que se hace llamar ±los siete magn̕ficos¿.
Description
"In a residential neighborhood of Lima overlooking the ocean, some well-to-do elderly people suffer the deterioration of their lives. Frasia, pressed by her economic needs, and who must work to raise her son Nico, has gradually become a vital companion to some of those older folks. If she could only manage to save up the money to buy ten guinea pigs, she could, as her uncle always told her, start a new life. Thus, every day she crosses the city by public transportation to help Mrs. Bertha, who, in addition to needing domestic help, also needs extra emotional support because in recent times she has been feeling a bit down and has had little to no contact with her daughter."--From publisher's description.
