In an aging Madrid boarding house the day begins with a chorus of three clocks—each stubbornly out of sync, each hinting at the fragile way we measure our lives. Inside, Doña Casiana watches the world from her balcony while Petra, the gaunt housemaid, drifts between chores and drowsy reverie, and an elderly guest coughs his way through a sleepless night. The opening scene weaves humor and melancholy, setting a stage where time itself feels both a joke and a relentless tide.
From this oddly timed tableau, the novel launches into a gentle, probing quest for purpose. The characters’ modest worries—rumors heard through cracked windows, the scent of a stable drifting upstairs, the sudden clatter of a slammed door—grow into larger questions about ambition, love, and the everyday battles that define a life. Listeners will be drawn into a world where the ordinary is rendered strange, and the search for meaning, however humble, becomes the story’s quiet engine.

1872–1956
A leading voice of Spain’s Generation of ’98, he wrote sharp, restless novels that looked hard at modern life and the people pushed to its edges. Before literature took over, he even trained and worked as a doctor for a short time.
