ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Seven stories about social, family, and financial submission in everyday life, written by Carmen Mart n Gaite, one of the most important figures in Spanish literature in the twentieth century.

"The real ties are the ones you choose, the ones you seek, and the ones you put on yourself, which you could have not."

Besides the primary story that gives this work its name, Carmen Mart n Gaite's book of the same name includes six other tales that explore conflicts of identity, as well as complexities in human relations, specially from a female perspective in mid-twentieth-century Spain. These short stories offer a deep and psychological perspective of emotional and social ties, seen through the author's narrative mastery to "dive into her female characters" and explore topics like freedom, identity, and isolation.
