The story unfolds in the fictional coastal village of Ficóbriga, centering around the character Gloria, a spirited and beautiful young woman on the brink of adulthood. The narrative explores themes of love, familial relationships, and societal expectations, as Gloria awaits the arrival of her uncle, a revered bishop, which sets the stage for her emotional journey. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the serene landscape around Ficóbriga, describing its natural beauty and the protagonist's experiences within it. As Gloria fidgets in anticipation for the arrival of her uncle, her character is immediately established as eager and lively, hinting at her inner restlessness and yearning for something beyond her provincial life. Accompanied by her father, Don Juan de Lantigua, the initial chapters delve into their interactions, revealing Gloria's passionate nature alongside her father's wisdom and clouded by worries about her future. The arrival of Rafael del Horro, a young man with apparent qualities suitable for a suitor, introduces a new dynamic to the narrative as Gloria contemplates her feelings and the implications of her father's expectations for her marriage.
