It is a light novel divided into twelve short chapters. It proposes to the reader a moving theme, death, and uses an intimate tone to develop the story. In the face of sudden death, we are shown the thoughts and emotions of the protagonist in the first hours and days. The narrator is the protagonist, and all over the book he's talking to his grandfather, telling him everything that goes through his head and heart.
The images of Jokin Mitxelena give encouragement to reading, leave room for rest. Though sometimes the images seem sketched, they are illustrations full of detail.
