Sergio Ramirez logra resumir toda la historia de su pais en una metafora de realidad y leyenda. El relato esta estructurado en dos niveles distintos y en la misma ciudad: uno, en 1907, durante un homenaje rendido a Ruben Dario en el cual este escribe en el abanico de una nina el poema "Margarita, esta linda la mar ..."; el otro, en 1956, en un cafe en el que se reune una tertulia literaria en la que tambien se conspira. Durante una visita a Leon (Nicaragua) de Anastasio Somoza y su esposa, habra un atentado contra la vida del dictador. La nina del abanico, cincuenta anos despues, no sera ajena a los hechos. Una novela cuyo lenguaje brillante y poetico, lleno de humor e ironia, seduce al lector y crea un continuo temporal entre el pasado y el presente.
