«Juanita la Larga» is Juan Valera's costumbrista novel, published by Alianza in paperback (295 pages, in Spanish).
The work takes the reader to an Andalusian village to tell the story of Juanita, a young woman of humble origins, and don Álvaro, a mature and well-off man, whose love must face the age difference and what people will say. Valera combines an idealized and pleasant setting with irony and humour, and mixes cultured language with colloquial speech.
