About the book

Sixteen-year-old Heller is an angel of death; his speciality - bad news. Then, as a summer heatwave hits the city, he is struck by first love.

This is the story of a boy on the eve of adulthood, and a city on the brink of urban meltdown, from award-winning author, Ariel Dorfman, and his son, Joaquin.
