«Bella y oscura» is the novel by Rosa Montero published in 1993 by Círculo de Lectores, S.A. in paperback (221 pages, in Spanish).
A girl grows up in an orphanage and arrives in a marginal neighbourhood, where she is taken in by a singular family: doña Bárbara, Amanda, Chico and Airelai, a dwarf who preserves imagination and magic in a hostile environment. The work blends the lived and the dreamed to speak of solitude, marginality and identity, and of how fantasy illuminates cruelty.
