BEAUTIFUL STORY!!
I f you are a hispanist, you will love this book! I picked it up and could not put it down. Perez Galdos describes the early 20th century Madrid vividly, the streets, the culture, the morals of that time, and his characters are so real you fall in love with all of them, even the unsavory ones. You laugh, you cry, you go through the gamut of emotions. Perez Galdos brings you to the end of your seat with anticipation. He is an unsung hero of Spanish literature.
