Publisher's Synopsis
Seducida por la convicción polìtica, la poesìa y el sueño de compartir un hermoso proyecto vital, la anónima narradora se enamora de un profesor universitario marxista y se muda con él a una lluviosa ciudad costera del sur de la India. Pronto descubrirá que el vìnculo de amor por ella imaginado es para él un contrato de propiedad que la reduce a la condición de esposa sumisa. Aquel hombre de nobilìsimos ideales inicia una asalto implacable a su cuerpo y su mente para cerrarle todos los caminos y, en última instancia, negarle el derecho a una existencia propia. La literatura es el único refugio en ese infierno doméstico sostenido por la indiferencia de una sociedad que solo espera silencio y resignación. Nadie la va a salvar, solo ella puede hacerlo.
Seduced by political conviction, poetry, and the dream of sharing a beautiful and important project, the anonymous narrator falls in love with a Marxist professor and moves with him to a rainy coastal city in southern India. She soon discovers that the love she felt was for him a relationship of property that reduces her to the status of a submissive wife. Literature becomes her only refuge and only she can save herself.
