The narrative centers around an unnamed protagonist who grapples with profound emotional turmoil following the suicide of his wife. The story explores themes of isolation, guilt, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly illuminating the fragile nature of love and the depths of despair. The opening of the novel introduces a deeply disturbed man who is attempting to process the recent death of his wife, whose body lies on the table in a state of distress. He is portrayed as both introspective and overwhelmed, oscillating between accusations directed at his wife and attempts at self-justification. As he walks through his home, struggling to gather his thoughts, he recalls memories that shed light on their tumultuous relationship. The complex psychological landscape is further enriched by his interactions with a young, gentle girl, who becomes a focal point of his mixed feelings of admiration and guilt. The narrative style reflects the protagonist's chaotic internal state, setting the stage for the exploration of his emotional struggle throughout the novel.
