Ficción original galardonada para estudiantes de inglés. Christina, que trabaja en una galería de arte en Buenos Aires, espera en el semáforo en su moto. Se da cuenta de dos hombres con un arma en el coche a su lado. Segundos después, es atropellada por un taxi y se despierta en el hospital sin recordar el accidente ni a los dos hombres. Sin embargo, los hombres tienen miedo de lo que podría pasar si su recuerdo de ella regresa y planean asegurarse de que nunca lo haga.
Es un libro muy recomendado para practicar la lectura, gramática y vocabulario en inglés. Respecto a la historia, es muy de una serie dramática.

It is a good book for beginner/elementary students of English as a second/
foreign language, since the book has an accessible language.
However, the story fails because the characters don´t have depth and the plot is poorly written.
Overall, this work is a good "welcome" for those who are learning to read in English.

4. Q. In this story, the main character lost her memory of an accident. Recently, do you feel that you lose your own memory frequently? And because of that, did you have any trouble?
A. In my case, recently I often lose my own memory perhaps because my brain is getting older and older. That's why last semester I often forgot to do my homework and submit it. Now I'm so sorry to my teachers. To prevent from doing that, I started writing my homework date in my schedule book. Thanks to that, the number of forgetting my homework decreased.
