This book is really original. We’re presented a boy who is born with a frozen heart,  who depends on a clock to live. He is told he can never fall in love because of it. He falls in love with a Spanish dancer, Miss Acacia, and tries to handle his feelings: passion, jealousy , fear. Will he be able to live a happy life with his loved one?
