The action takes place in Madrid at the end of the nineteenth century and focuses on the relationship between Juanito Santa Cruz, his wife Jacinta, and Fortunata, a young woman of humble origins.

Benito María de los Dolores Pérez Galdós was a Spanish realist novelist and politician. He was a leading literary figure in 19th-century Spain, and some scholars consider him second only to Miguel de Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist.
