About This Book

La narración abre en un pueblo provincial durante la primavera y la Semana Santa, cuando la llegada de dos hermanos y su coste de las procesiones reactiva la vida religiosa local. Serafinita es viuda profundamente piadosa que porta las huellas de un matrimonio cruel; su constancia, penitencia y caridad ante la enfermedad del esposo terminan en la conversión y muerte de él y en su impulso casi monástico. Don Buenaventura, hombre acomodado y de carácter más tolerante, afronta el duelo familiar y protege a los suyos. El texto examina la convivencia de fe, deber familiar y apariencia social, mostrando contrastes morales dentro de una misma estirpe.
