  <abstract>L’Edda Leveroni rep un regal singular el dia que en fa vint-i-un: una estada d’un any a l’agència de publicitat de la Bianca B. Miller a Nova York. El 1989 l’Edda s’haurà d’obrir camí a Manhattan, en una agència on només treballen dones i en un univers de creativitat i d’anuncis que volen vendre la vida millorada. No pot sospitar, però, en quin món està a punt d’endinsar-se. A Barcelona, el Brauli Leveroni ha sabut convertir una petita agència a Diagonal-Tuset en una de les més exitoses d’una ciutat efervescent. El pare de l’Edda és admirat i envejat per les seves campanyes publicitàries. El Brauli viu a tot gas, adora aquests dies plens d’estímuls, d’eslògans i d’intrigues. Abocat al negoci, encara no ha tingut temps de preguntar-se per la felicitat. En aquesta novel·la pletòrica, Xavier Bosch mostra de nou la seva habilitat narrativa. Ens sedueix amb uns personatges dels quals sempre volem saber més, ens dissecciona la cara oculta del màrqueting més descarnat i ens manté atrapats en una història que ens porta més lluny del que imaginàvem.</abstract>
  <abstract>On her twenty-first birthday, Edda Leveroni receives an unusual gift: a year’s placement at Bianca B. Miller’s advertising agency in New York. In 1989, Edda must find her way in Manhattan, in an agency staffed entirely by women, within a world of creativity and adverts promising an improved life. She cannot yet suspect the world she is about to enter.

In Barcelona, Brauli Leveroni has succeeded in turning a small agency on Diagonal-Tuset into one of the most successful in a vibrant city. Edda’s father is admired and envied for his advertising campaigns. Brauli lives life at full speed; he revels in these days brimming with stimuli, slogans and intrigue. Consumed by business, he has not yet stopped to ask himself what happiness might be.

In this exuberant novel, Xavier Bosch once again demonstrates his narrative skill. He captivates us with characters we always wish to know more about, lays bare the hidden side of the most ruthless marketing, and holds us fast in a story that carries us further than we could have imagined.</abstract>
