This novel is both an allegory of brutality and innocence, oppression and exploitation in Franco's Spain, and a critique of the church, sexual corruption and moral hypocrisy, focusing on the life of Paula, who hates her parents and withdraws into an obsessive fantasy world of her own creation.;The author is winner of the Prix Hermes.
Chatto was founded in 1855 by a bookseller-publisher called John Camden Hotten. On Hotten's death, Andrew Chatto, who had worked there since he was fifteen, acquired the business with a sleeping partner, W.E. Windus. In 1917, The Hogarth Press was founded by Virginia and Leonard Woolf, and in 1946 this too came under Chatto's management. The firm published many significant writers and classics - R.L. Stevenson, Lytton Strachey, Marcel Proust, Laurie Lee, Christopher Isherwood, Rosamond Lehmann, Henry Green, Sigmund Freud and Iris Murdoch. Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate, was editorial director in the 1960s.
