Dendrinó is a narrative with an elliptical style that delves into the years of the Civil War and attempts to explore the human experience through the lives of the heroes, who, while being unique beings, at the same time can be seen as archetypal human figures.

From the back cover of the book: "Marika did not wake up this morning like all the others. With all the day's tasks on her mind. She had a good feeling about how things would go. What she didn’t know, however, was that by nightfall she would find herself with the taste of wet earth in her mouth. She opened the door and stood on the stoop. Sleeveless. She looked at the barn at the edge of the yard. Suddenly her mind emptied of the daily things that, out of habit, tried to awaken within her. Her gaze climbed the mountain. She imagined him on some peak looking toward her. Everything had been arranged. It wasn’t easy but she knew she would find him. By the next dawn they would be together. The mountain did not frighten her."
