Description:

"The true bonds are the one chooses—the one seeks out and imposes upon oneself, even when one could choose to be free of them." In addition to the title story, this collection by Carmen Martín Gaite includes six other tales that explore conflicts of identity and the complexities of human relationships—viewed, in particular, from the perspective of women in mid-20th-century Spain. These stories offer a profound, psychological insight into emotional and social ties, showcasing the author’s narrative gift for "delving into the inner lives of her female characters" to examine themes such as freedom, identity, and the inability to communicate.
