The action takes place in Madrid at the end of the 19th century and centres on Benina, a humble woman who helps others, and the mysterious beggar Mordejai. The novel portrays life in the slums and reflects on compassion, spirituality and survival, in a narrative that blends naturalism and lyricism.

For readers of Spanish and 19th-century literary classics interested in popular Madrid and its marginalised characters.
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.
