This is the end of the trilogy that began with the book "Eeeling in One's skin" passing through "Love is not to be played with" until arriving at this one, "Memories that the wing brings" that closes the history of the Sales from Albuquerque and the slave Toña, who was linked to them by ties of love and hate from the past.
The sequence of events, which began 200 years ago, ends in Cabo Frio (Cape Cold), the birthplace of my grandfather Edmundo, who introduced Leonel to the real characters, in spirit, so that he could bring his story as an example to us all. But the story is not his, nor was he the one who lived it. His characters are people he once knew, even though he had no closer relationship with any of them. Those were things of small towns, at the end of the 19th century, where everyone knew each other, at least by name or when they found out about it.
As my grandfather told me, they are a family like many others, but whose truths we do not know. No one ever knew about the drama that took place in that house, and, for the city's inhabitants, they were just people who lived there, halfway through everything and everyone. Quiet and unimportant people, who did not attract anyone's attention.
But the death of the body awakens these truths and then is when we see that they will never be unimportant.
