This novel is based on the true story of a murder in Spain in 1931. Aurora Rodriquez, a product of bourgeois Spanish society, projected her political and philosophical ideas on her daughter whose conception (with a renegade priest) was pre-arranged. Hildegart appeared to be living out her mother's dreams, when at age 17, she becomes torn between lusty desires and her political destiny and her mother decides she must end her failed experiment.
Erich Hackl is an Austrian novelist and short story writer. His works have been translated into 25 languages though he is significantly better known in the German-speaking world. Many of his works, notably Sara und Simón, bear resemblance to Latin-American testimonial literature, and as such have been the focus of scholarly research by Latin Americanists.
