Colección de relatos que tienen unidad en sí mismos y pueden leerse, por tanto, como textos independientes. Desde esta concepción, el orden de lectura es irrelevante y el conjunto puede pensarse como el producto de largas conversaciones entre dos amigas escritoras que les han llevado a concebir el acto de creación a modo de diálogo. La primera parte del título, sin embargo, sugiere la unidad del conjunto. Leídos en el orden propuesto por las autoras, los relatos configuran una novela de crecimiento de mujeres desplazadas por el acto de la migración forzada o voluntaria. Desde esta concepción, la obra presenta la genealogía de esa figura solitaria (sus mitos, fantasías y experiencias) que John Berger denominó seventh man y que las autoras recrean en femenino.
