About This Book

La novela sigue el regreso de Miguel a un pequeño pueblo costero y su cortejo a una joven tímida, cuyo pudor y modestia complican los preparativos de matrimonio y la convivencia familiar. A través de escenas domésticas y conversaciones se exploran las relaciones entre parientes y vecinos, la influencia de la madrastra, los celos de una hermana y la vida social local; se observan pequeñas hipocresías, afectos vacilantes y tensiones entre tradición y deseos personales. El relato combina observación psicológica con descripciones del ambiente costero y episodios cotidianos que revelan caracteres y costumbres del lugar.
