Buscamos el amor, lo necesitamos a veces como a la luz de un faro; pero no siempre es de color de rosa. A veces nos llena de luz y a veces nos desarma, nos rompe y nos desengaña. Este libro nos lleva a través de muchas de las emociones y sensaciones que nos provoca; a través del miedo, de la ilusión, de las lágrimas, de la soledad, las ansias y el deseo. Porque a ninguno nos resulta intranscendente, ya sea porque lo buscamos, porque lo tenemos, porque lo perdimos o porque nunca lo tuvimos.
