Plunged into an unhappy marriage with a selfish man, she renounces her own identity and gives all the prominence to her husband, accepting the conventions of the time. But life and circumstances will force Colometa and the rest of the characters to grow... A faithful chronicle of post-war Barcelona, this seemingly small book is a literary gem, and undoubtedly one of the best Spanish novels of the 20th century. and the masterpiece, according to critics, of Catalan women's literature.
