«En la casa del padre» is the novel by José Manuel Caballero Bonald, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback format (304 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows the chronicle of three generations of the Romero-Bárcena family, an Andalusian wine-industry clan that rises from obscure origins to the pinnacle of economic and social power. The starting point is the apparently accidental fall of the chaplain don Ismael, an episode that exposes the clan's moral decay. With caciquismo, the Civil War and the crises of Francoism as a backdrop, the novel connects the private sphere with the social, political and ethical reality of recent Spanish history.
Work belonging to Anagrama's Compactos collection, number 135. It won the Plaza & Janés International Prize in 1988, according to the back cover.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and for those familiar with Caballero Bonald's narrative.
