Sirena Negra

sirena negra

by Emilia Pardo Bazán

Gaspar Montenegro, a wealthy and cynical aristocrat, meets Rita Quiñones, a woman who is terminally ill. Despite their brief and platonic friendship, Gaspar decides to adopt Rita's son, Rafaelín, and provide him with the best possible education. Trini, Gaspar's former lover, re-enters his life, and he attempts to rekindle their romance and convince her to help raise Rafaelín. However, Gaspar's apathy and obsession with death, personified as "La seca," threaten to overshadow his newfound responsibilities and relationships.
