This is a gripping tale of a young gay man from México City, Miguel Martin, who travels to Seville to make sense of an inherited blood disease that is common amongst Sephardic Jews.In his quest, he uncovers family secrets dating back to the 1500s, when his ancestors left for México. Layers of Andalusian history and the pageantry of Seville's Semana Santa form the backdrop for Miguel's attempt to make sense of the blood that courses through his veins. While in Spain, he suffers an anemic episode and ends up in the care of the alluring Carla Reyes, an attending physician at the local hospital.The intense sensuality of Seville gets under Miguel's skin, and he must navigate competing romantic sentiments - those for the strikingly handsome Juan Moreno and unexpected ones that unfold between him and Cala, who he discovers belatedly, is a trans woman. Their mounting sexual passion forces each to embrace a rich poetics of intimacy, the realization that our identities - particularly around spirituality, the body, gender, and sexuality - are complex and fluid and capable of extraordinary imagination.This tender love story is a tour de force of history, secrets, romance, and the humanity of transgender people in one of Europe's most enchanting cities.
