About This Book

La narración se sitúa en una ciudad provinciana asolada por la guerra y describe con detalle el convento dominico de San Salomó, sus ruinas, la vida interior de las monjas nobles y las contradicciones entre devoción y privilegio. Presenta a José Armengol, sacristán veterano que, consciente de su fin, intenta asegurar la sucesión de su cargo en su nieto, y muestra cómo los saqueos, la pobreza aparente y las costumbres locales influyen en el destino de sus personajes. El relato combina descripciones arquitectónicas, episodios históricos y retratos sociales de la comunidad.
