Doña Milagros

Emilia Pardo Bazán

“Doña Milagros” is Benicio Neira’s first-person account of life as the father of a large family in Marineda. Through his difficult marriage to Ilduara, his worries about their daughters and his growing closeness to the lively Andalusian neighbour Milagros, Emilia Pardo Bazán examines domestic life, desire, reputation and social roles with irony.
