A young priest comes to the decaying manor of Ulloa in Galicia, where a coarse squire lives with his servant and a hidden family. Pardo Bazán's naturalist novel sets the priest's innocence against the cruelty, vice and beauty of the Galician countryside. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
