Entre Visillos by Carmen Martín Gaite
A penetrating portrait of a provincial mid-20th-century Spanish town that follows a group of young women whose daily routines, whispered hopes and thwarted romances are confined by family expectations, social surveillance and limited prospects; through quiet observation, ironic detail and psychological insight the novel exposes the claustrophobia, hypocrisy and gendered constraints of conservative society while revealing the characters’ private yearnings for freedom and self-definition.
