En 1942 Elena acaba de llegar a España, deportada desde la Francia ocupada por los nazis. Sus tíos, única familia que le queda, la han acogido en su casa de Ávila donde vive con el temor a ser de nuevo detenida. Apenas transcurridos unos meses, un comisario de policía acude a su domicilio con una orden de detención. Se la acusa de pertenencia a la masonería. A partir de ese momento se enfrenta a la dureza de la represión, a la angustia de buscar una salida que le permita eludir la cárcel y al dolor por todas las pérdidas que se han acumulado en su vida. La novela navega entre el presente de la protagonista, inmerso en la oscuridad, y la miseria de la postguerra, y sus años de juventud transcurridos en el Madrid de la República, un espléndido escenario para dar rienda suelta a sus expectativas de mujer moderna que no renuncia a nada. 10
