«La Pascua triste» is the novel that closes the trilogy «Los gozos y las sombras» by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, in hardback (381 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in a small Galician community, with some scenes in Madrid, during the final years of the Second Republic. Old families and new local powers clash in a climate of political and social tension, while Carlos Deza, Cayetano Salgado, Clara and Juan Aldán reach the outcome of their stories. Words eventually give way to deeds in an atmosphere of change where appearances of transformation do not always alter the substance of things.
Third instalment of «Los gozos y las sombras», preceded by «El señor llega» and «Donde da la vuelta el aire»; the work was originally published in 1962.
For readers of Spanish fiction and novels set during the Second Republic who wish to complete Torrente Ballester's trilogy.
