«Pan en las aguas» is Irwin Shaw's novel published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (431 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the Strands, a humble, close-knit New York family whose life changes when Caroline, the teenage daughter, helps Russell Hazen, a rich and lonely lawyer, after an assault in Central Park. The lawyer's gratitude translates into gifts and money, and that generosity disrupts family harmony and tests their relationships.
The translation from English is by Lorenzo Cortina. The work was originally published as Bread upon the Waters in 1981.
For readers of fiction and family drama, especially those who appreciate classic twentieth-century American literature.
