About this book
Orbajosa, a sleepy provincial town in Spain, is where a young engineer from Madrid, Pepe Rey, comes to visit his aunt, Doña Perfecta, and to marry his cousin Rosario. His modern ideas soon set him against the aunt and the local clergy, and the quarrel grows far beyond a family matter.
Benito Pérez Galdós wrote this novel in 1876; the English version here is by Mary J. Serrano, with an introduction that reads it as a story about bigotry in general, not an attack on one church. Its thirty-two chapters stay close to the household and the town.
