About This Book

Una serie de cartas sirve de hilo narrativo para relatar la vida cotidiana y las tribulaciones de personajes atrapados en tiempos de guerra: la miseria y el hambre que asolan la ciudad, la desolación de edificios destruidos, la presencia opresiva de fuerzas ocupantes y la actuación de la policía. Al mismo tiempo se exponen problemas domésticos y legales de una familia que lucha por su patrimonio, con tono satírico y crítico hacia las instituciones y las costumbres sociales. El relato combina observación social, ironía y detalles de la administración y el orden público para mostrar el impacto humano del conflicto.
