Andrea llega a Barcelona para estudiar letras. Sus ilusiones chocan, inmediatamente, con el ambiente de tension y emociones violentas que reina en casa de su abuela. Andrea relata el contraste entre este sordido microcosmos familiar (poblado de seres extranos y apasionantes) y la fragil cordialidad de sus relaciones universitarias, centradas en la bella y luminosa Ena. Finalmente los dos mundos convergen en un dialogo dramatico. Comparada por la critica con Cumbres borrascosas, Nada destaca tanto por su prosa fresca y directa como por la extraordinaria sensibilidad en la recreacion de una voz femenina. Cuando el libro acaba, el lector tiene la seguridad de poder encontrar, al volver la esquina, a una muchacha palida y triste, con toda la fuerza de su juventud condensada en el mirar. Es Andrea, absorta, queriendo algo, sin saber que. Como el resto de los protagonistas, ha nacido a la vida real por un prodigio de la creacion artistica. Prodigio mas que suficiente para formar parte de la historia de la literatura.
