About This Book

La novela sigue a una familia que ocupa una humilde barraca en el campo y acaba siendo objeto de hostilidades crecientes por parte de sus vecinos. Una cadena de celos, malentendidos y prácticas comunales alimenta la tensión, que desemboca en boicot, aislamiento social y episodios de violencia. Ricas y a veces líricas descripciones del paisaje, las estaciones y las costumbres locales enmarcan las relaciones humanas. A través de la observación cotidiana, la obra explora el honor, la superstición, el resentimiento colectivo y el coste personal de la condena social.
