Young priest Amaro arrives in a small Portuguese town and begins a secret relationship with Amélia, in conflict with his vows. Amid scenes of parish life and debates on faith, the novel criticizes the hypocrisy of the clergy and the morality of nineteenth-century Portuguese society.

José Maria de Eça de Queiroz or Queirós is generally considered to have been the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style. Zola considered him to be far greater than Flaubert. In the London Observer, Jonathan Keates ranked him alongside Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy.
