«Muerte de una dama» is the novel by Llorenç Villalonga, published by Bruguera in paperback (159 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the agony of doña Obdulia Montcada, a lady of Mallorcan aristocracy, and the disintegration of her world. Around her bed parade the Baroness of Bearn and the poetess Aina Cohen, while outside that circle a new life of foreigners and modern customs bursts in. It is a lucid and caustic satire of a social class in extinction.

For readers of classic Spanish fiction interested in social satire and the decline of the aristocracy.
