In a remote place in northern Spain, doña Berta de Rondaliego, the last of her lineage and now elderly, lives in seclusion and silence. The unexpected visit of a painter awakens in her memories of youth and the possibility of repairing a past guilt, in a story of extraordinary dramatic force.

For readers who enjoy classics of Spanish literature and short stories from the nineteenth century.
Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, also known as Clarín, was a Spanish realist novelist and journalist born in Zamora. His inflammatory articles, known as paliques (“chitchat”), as well as his advocacy of liberalism and anti-clericalism, made him a formidable and controversial critical voice. He died in Oviedo.
