«La oscura historia de la prima Montse» is the novel by Spanish writer Juan Marsé, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (339 pages, in Spanish).
A man returns to the place where his tragedy took shape: the encounter between his cousin Montse Claramunt, a young religious woman from a wealthy Catholic family, and an atheist, ambitious convict. The narrator, a witness and alter ego of the author, shows how class differences and respectability turn good intentions into a dark story.
Originally published in 1970, this 1997 edition belongs to the Biblioteca Juan Marsé collection and includes illustrations by Julián Grau Santos.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and followers of Juan Marsé's narrative.
