«Cinco horas con Mario» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Bibliotex - El Mundo in hardcover (192 pages, in Spanish).
Carmen Sotillo keeps vigil over the corpse of her husband, Mario, through the night. The underlined passages in a Bible he kept on the bedside table unleash a monologue in which she reviews their life together. The contrast between her bourgeois mentality and Mario's liberal, nonconformist spirit underpins a critique of Spanish society of the time.
