"La novela gira en dos voces alternativas. En una de ellas, actual, una mujer madura que ha quedado encinta, víctima de las soledades de la vida, también de su matrimonio y tras conocer el estado fetal, donde le es diagnosticada una subnormalidad, afronta en el silencio el desarrollo del embarazo, sufriendo y padeciendo los sentimientos que este le transmite. Seguir o no adelante, esa es la cuestión. Mientras y paralelamente, pero tres siglos antes, un antepasado suyo, Harvey, descubre la circulación mayor y menor y su aplicación a enfermedades a través de las sangrías. El ilustre doctor aborda atenciones a embarazadas, entre otros pacientes, utilizando sangre fetal de niños subnormales. El desenlace se une y se encuentra para el lector en un ultimo tramo." --Publisher's description. This novel revolves around two alternating voices. In one, taking place in the present, a pregnant mature woman, whose unborn child has been diagnosed with mental handicaps, faces the fetus' development in silence as she suffers the feelings she gets from it. To continue or not, that is the question she faces. In the meantime, but three centuries earlier, Harvey, one of her ancestors, discovers blood circulation and how to heal people by bloodletting and using fetal blood from mentally handicapped babies.
