Casado y con un hijo, no atraviesa su mejor momento, pero la perspectiva de pasar un día en otro país en compañía de una joven amiga es suficiente para animarle un poco.

An advance due to him on his upcoming novel, the small fortune might mean the   solution to his problems, most importantly the tension he has with his wife.   While she spends her days at work and her nights out on the town-with a   lover, perhaps, he doesn't know for sure-Lucas is stuck at home all day   staring at the blank page, caring for his son Maiko and fantasizing about the   one thing that keeps him going: the woman from Uruguay whom he met at a   conference and has been longing to see ever since. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But that woman, Magalí Guerra Zabala, is a free spirit with her own   relationship troubles, and the day they spend together in this beautiful city   on the beach winds up being nothing like Lucas predicted. The constantly   surprising, moving story of this dramatically transformative day in their   lives, The Woman from Uruguay is both a gripping narrative and a tender,   thought-provoking exploration of the nature of relationships. An   international bestseller published in fourteen countries, it is the   masterpiece of one of the most original voices in Latin American literature   today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A perfect novel. A triumph from beginning to end. The novel's style, that   carries the soft irony of a writer in command of his narrative voice, its   extension, its verbal prowess, its impeccably paced rhythm and, of course,   the theme: a marital crisis written from the perspective of an Argentine man   in his mid forties who is facing an existential crisis.” ―El Pais (Spain)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “[Pedro Mairal] displays his full talent in a wisely structured novel,   outstanding in its narrative rhythm and in the twists and turns of the plot,   where humor emerges at the same time a tragedy takes shape surrounding an   enigma .
