Para ello debe viajar a Madrid a cursar el último semestre en la Universidad Complutense. A pesar de la resistencia familiar, está decidida a lograrlo. Durante la travesía, los objetos más preciados que posee caerán en manos de un extraño. Poco se imagina que ese contratiempo será el inicio de un viaje no sólo a otro país, sino a lo más íntimo y auténtico de su ser y sus anhelos. Tal vez el pasado que lleva a cuestas la confronte; quizás el futuro se le brinde prometedor... hasta que el tiempo alcance. Otros autores han opinado: "Helena, una historia contada con 'h', esa letra muda como lo son un sinfín de mujeres que silencian sus penas y hacen suyas culpas que no les corresponden. Una novela tan tierna como dura en la que la ilusión pelea con la realidad para finalizar de forma insospechada." -Ildefonso Falcones, autor del bestseller La catedral del mar-
