About This Book

La narración sitúa la acción en un molino medio derruido y sigue a la familia del molinero: la pareja y sus tres hijos. Un accidente entre hermanos deja a uno reducido a un estado incapacitante y su eventual muerte marca un punto de inflexión; el culpable abandona la altivez y canaliza su remordimiento en un afecto protector hacia el hijo menor. Mediante descripciones del entorno rural y de la ruina física del molino, el texto aborda la culpa, el arrepentimiento, las tensiones domésticas y la fragilidad de los vínculos humanos ante la desgracia.
