The book explores the life in the Albufera region of Spain, delving into the struggles and daily realities of the local inhabitants. Central to the narrative are characters such as the barquero, the old fisherman Tío Paloma, and his son Tono, who navigates the complex expectations of family and tradition while adapting to changing times." The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the Albufera, where the arrival of the barca-correo, a mail boat, marks the everyday routine of the villagers. The barquero, a thin and weathered man, receives parcels while a group of children curiously follows him. As the barca fills with passengers, including a feverish worker carried by two women, the reader gets a vivid picture of the life around the canals and rice fields. Tío Paloma, respected among his peers for his experience as a fisherman, reflects on the changes in his world, as his son Tono begins to prioritize farming over their traditional fishing livelihood. The opening chapter effectively sets a tone of nostalgia and impending change, portraying the difficulties faced by these characters amidst the backdrop of nature's ebb and flow.
