"Siamo un inno alla precarietà e un invito al male, a compierlo vicendevolmente gli uni sugli altri... Ti uccido per vivere. Ti uccido per possedere. Ti uccido per liberarmi di te...". Così riflette Rosa, la protagonista del primo racconto, in una notte d'agosto, confusa davanti alla più difficile decisione della sua vita. E anche le altre due storie che compongono questo trittico sembrano girare intorno agli stessi quesiti. Siamo dannati o possiamo salvarci?

Fran finds her standing by the swings. A little girl, Esther, no older than seven years old, by herself in the dead of night, her pretty but old-fashioned yellow dress covered in grass stains and her hair dishevelled. She says she's waiting for Father, and that strikes Fran as particularly odd. After Esther is reunited with her family, Fran can't stop thinking about this pious child whose imaginary friend is God.

Non si può tenere a bada un dolore così: neanche il suo lavoro, insegnare letteratura, può salvarla, contrastare quel lento deperimento che la invade tutta, che rende sempre più incontrollate e incontrollabili le sue azioni.
