About This Book

La narración recrea la vida de una villa costera a través de su vetusto teatro y de los pequeños salones sociales donde se juegan honores y rencillas; sigue a una familia acomodada y a jóvenes enamorados cuyas aspiraciones domésticas se entrelazan con chismes y ambiciones locales. La aparición de un periódico comunitario provoca debates, rupturas y alianzas, desatando intrigas, traiciones y escaramuzas intelectuales. Entre bodas, confidencias y la intervención de forasteros influyentes, las decisiones privadas acaban por alterar las relaciones públicas y conducir a desenlaces tristes que transforman el orden social del pueblo.
