Book Description:
“Morriña” junto con “Insolación” son dos obras de Emilia Pardo Bazán, pero diametralmente opuestas, en las que se retrata la sociedad madrileña del momento, con un interesante análisis de los personajes, principalmente de las protagonistas. “Esclavitud” protagonista de Morriña se ve envuelta en un conflicto amoroso que la conducirá a la tragedia, ante una sociedad que se muestra impasible. La autora hace un retrato magnífico con su amplio vocabulario y su gran capacidad de relatar. - Resumen de Montse González.
