Notes:
"This meritorious novel won first prize in the Concurso de Novela Primera Plana- Sudamericana (Judges: García Márquez, Marechal and Roa Bastos). It presents a profound and sensitive study of the problem of guilt and its assessment and the tragedy of human failure and estrangement. The narrative point of view, which is multiple and rapidly changing, is very effective."
