About This Book

Una mujer elegante de rasgos severos recorre la ciudad despertando admiración y miradas, mientras mantiene un aire altivo que provoca tanto elogios como desprecio. Un joven mucho más joven la sigue con apasionada atención, generando en ella impaciencia y rechazo. La narración combina escenas de paseo, viajes en tranvía y reuniones sociales para mostrar clases de comportamiento, pequeñas humillaciones y silencios dolorosos; personajes variados experimentan inquietud, orgullo y resignación en ambientes urbanos y domésticos, explorando tensiones entre deseo, vanidad y las convenciones sociales.
