"El 8 de enero de 1982, la escultora colombiana Feliza Bursztyn murió en un restaurante de París. Tenía cuarenta y ocho años. En el momento de su muerte repentina la acompañaban su marido y cuatro amigos. Uno de ellos, el escritor Gabriel García Márquez, publicó días después un artículo que incluía tres palabras en apariencia simples, pero misteriosas en el fondo: «Murió de tristeza». Juan Gabriel Vásquez parte de esas palabras para investigar en la vida secreta o desconocida de una mujer extraordinaria. Feliza Bursztyn se enfrentó siempre a la sociedad en la que le tocó vivir. Hija de una pareja de judíos expatriados en Colombia, artista revolucionaria en un tiempo de revoluciones políticas, mujer de espíritu libre en un mundo que desconfiaba de la libertad de las mujeres, llevó una existencia que puso en escena las grandes tensiones del siglo XX y, sobre todo, el deseo de ser dueña de sí misma."--
