See our selectionLos personajes de esta novela coral son vecinos en una privada de la Ciudad de México. Las viviendas están identificadas con «los cinco sabores que puede reconocer la lengua humana»: a las casas Dulce y Salado las ocupa la familia de Ana, hija de músicos de la Sinfónica que quiere sembrar una milpa en el patio.
