About This Book

Um jovem padre recém-ordenado chega a uma cidade provincial onde a vida clerical e devota é mostrada com ironia. Entre ambições, intrigas de capela e a complacência social, ele inicia um romance proibido com uma jovem local, enquanto o clero e as beatas mantêm aparências de piedade. O romance explora a hipocrisia religiosa, as tensões entre desejo e dever e a influência das convenções sociais sobre sentimentos e reputações, conduzindo a consequências pessoais e morais trágicas que impõem um exame crítico da instituição e dos costumes da comunidade.
