About this book

Rafael Brull, a young deputy home from Madrid, steps into his family's old mansion in Alcira after a station welcome of cheering crowds and music. His mother, Doña Bernarda, is already sending him off to meet friends at the Club, and he lingers in the patio where he played as a boy. His late father, don Ramón, was the local political boss. The setting is the orange country near Valencia. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez wrote it in Spanish as Entre naranjos; Isaac Goldberg and Arthur Livingston made this English version, dated 1921.
