«La oscura historia de la prima Montse» is the novel by Juan Marsé published by Plaza & Janés Editores in paperback, with 352 pages, in Spanish.
A man returns ten years later to the tower of the Claramunts, a rich and Catholic family, condemned to demolition. He recalls Montse, a young woman devoted to charity as a Visitor, and her relationship with an atheist working-class convict she wants to protect. Good intentions clash with social statutes and the cult of respectability.
The work was first published in 1970; this edition, revised and corrected by the author, came out in 1998.
Of interest to readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and for the academic study of Juan Marsé.
