Y fuera de ambos viven los cautivadores personajes de esta novela: l. a. amante casada del narrador, Clare Bayes, una mujer condicionada por algo a lo que asistió pero que no recuerda; el amigo Cromer-Blake, gay irónico que vive fabricando experiencias intensas para una vejez que prevé solitaria; el ya retirado y sagaz profesor Toby Rylands; el merodeador Alan Marriott, con su perro de tres patas y su conocimientos sobre los angeles "pareja espantosa" que todos tenemos; y mucho otros, algunos extraordinariamente divertidos, hasta llegar al personaje que viene de otro tiempo, el enigmático escritor John Gawsworth. En un mundo de secretos e intrigas, de ritos ceremoniosos y cenas disparatadas, de pasados ocultos y enfermizos presentes, el narrador va tejiendo su propia "perturbación" y su propia historia con l. a. de los habitantes de l. a. ciudad "conservada en almíbar", hasta descubrir que elementos tan dispares como un puente ferroviario sobre un río en l. a. India, unos amantesdesdichados, una carrera de espía o l. a. diminuta isla de Redonda, pasarán a formar parte de su vida, marcada ya para siempre por esas relaciones inesperadas de amor y amistad entre todas las almas.
