Ademas de escribir un libro sobre los graves problemas ambientales que afectan al planeta a principios del siglo XXI, las autoras quisieron que este tema fuera accesible a todos los lectores, dandole forma de una novela -de ahi su nombre- en la que los personajes intercambian, aparte de sus sentimientos, reflexiones y problemas existenciales, los datos mas actuales con respecto a la contaminacion en sus multiples aspectos: del aire, del agua, de la vida vegetal y animal, del ruido; en fin, de todas las formas que asume, sin olvidar el agujero de ozono.
