About This Book

La novela presenta las vidas entrelazadas de dos mujeres casadas en la ciudad, una inscrita en la respetabilidad burguesa y otra procedente de las clases populares, cuyas trayectorias se cruzan por vínculos amorosos y secretos. Mediante episodios cotidianos y conflictos íntimos se examinan la hipocresía social, las desigualdades de clase y la tensión entre deseo y deber. La prosa adopta un realismo detallado y ofrece retratos psicológicos precisos acompañados de amplia observación social. En conjunto, dibuja un panorama crítico y humano de la sociedad urbana y de las contradicciones que condicionan las decisiones personales.
