Som en una Barcelona sotmesa a una quasi constant pluja d'aiguafang que corromp la pedra dels monuments antics, difumina els contorns del paisatge i dificulta el caminar de la gent. És una societat decadent i consumista, de persones avorrides de viure i que converteix les successives onades d'immigrants en mà d'obra esclava. En aquesta ciutat, tres personatges marginals, l'assassí, l'esclau i l'oreneta, s'observen i se segueixen per intentar salvar-se i, potser, estimar-se.Aiguafang és una novel"la d'atmosferes opressives i de situacions límit. Joan-Lluís Lluís ha escrit una faula crua i colpidora amb esclats de tendresa.

The Swarts are a white family who have lived for generations on a farm outside Pretoria, South Africa. After the death of the mother, all the members gather for the funeral at the family home. Amor and Anton, two of her children, reject what the family represents and do not forget the promise that their father made to their mother shortly before he died: that Salome, the black woman who has been working for them all her life and who took care of him in his last days, she could keep the small house in which she has lived for years. But time is passing and the promise is not fulfilled. The narrative follows the Swarts' footsteps over more than three decades; through the detailed exploration of family members and their conflicts, Galgut also tells us about the political and social changes in the country after the end of racial segregation.
