About This Book

Le récit suit plusieurs personnages liés par alliances et trahisons: un vieil homme orgueilleux convaincu d'un gain immobilier, son neveu hésitant, un complice ambitieux et des figures féminines confrontées à l'abandon et à la pauvreté. Les protagonistes manigancent autour d'une enquête administrative et d'une annonce de presse qui promet de transformer des biens et la réputation publique, tandis que rivalités, corruptions et calculs matrimoniaux se mêlent à épisodes de tendresse et de douleur. Le ton combine intrigue populaire, satire sociale et mélodrame, en épisodes reliés par manœuvres, révélations et revers de fortune.
