After his mother's death, Lucho, a teenager, is sent from Lima to stay with his relatives at the San Gabriel hacienda; there he witnesses the provincial customs of an agrarian community. He is fascinated by his manipulative young cousin with whom he develops a tortuous relationship. The novel is a testimony to the decay of the large Peruvian landed estate."--BOOK JACKET.
