According to the jury, Simón's work (Ortega y Gasset award in 2015) is "a text that captivates in a brutal way and that, almost at the same heart rate as it narrates,
accelerates the reader's heartbeat
due to its high invoice and surprising story. It is the adventure of a small family to save a life and the way in which different people, from remote places, are involved in
the journey of a fragile heart,
from a lifeless body to another that demands and needs it. A human report with a will to style that moves by the force that beats in a small heart ".
