Esta obra obtuvo por unanimidad el Premio Primavera 2002, convocado por Espasa Calpe y ?mbito Cultural, y concedido por el siguiente Jurado: Ana Mar?a Matute, ?ngel Basanta, Antonio Soler, Ram?n Pernas v Rafael Gonz?lez Cort?s.Luz Acaso es una solitaria y misteriosa mujer de mediana edad que decide acudir a un taller literario para que un profesional escriba la historia de su vida. Una novela de intriga apasionada que nos invita a contener la respiraci?n y a vislumbrar los territorios ocultos, y casi siempre negados de la existencia.Lo mejor del libro es la habilidad retorica de Millas para justificar la equidistancia entre ficcion y realidad, las coincidencias inverosimiles, los solapamientos de los personajes […] Hay una constante duda en los personajes que es la metafora de una duda mas profunda: que punto de ficcion tiene lo real. La duda se resuelve con la novela misma: todo es, en definitiva, literatura.Joaquin Fortanet, `Lateral`. Mayo 2002.
