About This Book

A través de episodios ambientados en Mallorca e Ibiza, la novela reconstruye la vida insular con atención a costumbres, jerarquías y ruinas familiares. Sigue a miembros de casas antiguas, como un dueño de mayorazgo que afronta la pobreza en un palacio deteriorado, y registra la llegada de extraños que alteran el orden local. Descripciones de paisajes, oficios de mar y agricultura, antiguos rencores de castas y prácticas de contrabando se combinan con escenas domésticas y políticas; el relato alterna observación costumbrista y conflicto social para mostrar la tensión entre tradición, decaimiento y deseo de renovación.
