The book centers around the lives of two sisters, Dolores and Concha, who work as seamstresses in a city where social pressures and romantic entanglements threaten their modest existence. The narrative explores themes of familial bonds, the challenges of working-class life, and the aspirations of the younger sister, Concha, as she navigates her desires for personal recognition and love. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the two sisters at work late at night, struggling with the fading light of a kerosene lamp while engaged in their sewing tasks. We learn about their tumultuous pasts, including Dolores's earlier responsibilities as a caretaker and the hardships they faced after becoming orphaned. As the story progresses, we see the contrasting character dynamics between the protective older sister, Dolores, and the more carefree, ambitious younger sister, Concha, who wishes to participate in theatrical performances. Their interactions hint at deeper themes of caution, societal expectations, and the desire for social mobility, setting the stage for the conflicts and developments that will arise throughout the novel.
