On the centenary of the author's birth, this paperback edition of Carmen Martín Gaite's first novel, originally published in 1955, is released. The volume brings together ten masterful stories, including the title story, which won the Café Gijón Prize in 1954. Through introspective narrative, the work explores themes such as loneliness, identity, and social oppression, focusing on the experience of women in post-war Spain. The main story follows Matilde, who, during a stay at a spa with her husband, becomes immersed in an atmosphere where the boundaries between dream and reality blur.
