This novel, published in 2006, but translated in 2007, tells the tale of a Peruvian man, Ricardo Somocurcio, whose main goal is to live in Paris. He succeeds in creating a life in Paris as a translator complete with an on-again, off-again romance with "the bad girl". This gal's identity is as shifty as she is. He had first met her as a young man in Peru when she claimed to be from Chile to give herself more glamour. She continues in her evolution as she gradually assumes new identities and marriages and romantic alliances. Through it all, Ricardo can't help but love the Bad Girl, despite her cool response.
