�Yo soy yo cuando sue�o. Yo soy yo cuando deseo. Yo soy yo cuando callo y oculto. �Qui�n comprender�a mi verdadera vida si no es �l? �Qui�n me dar� este descanso, esta paz, esta victoria? S�. S�. Como �l dice: “En la gracia y en el silencio. En tu interior est� tu vida. Tu verdadero placer, en el secreto”�.

Ah� es donde quiere su confesor que est�, como antes su madre, como ahora su madrastra, que es tambi�n su t�a, escondi�ndose bajo la ropa, sin llamar la atenci�n de los ojos codiciosos de los hombres. Ah� es donde la quiere su padre, discreta, invisible, detenida. Sin embargo, ella es todo curiosidad, despertar sexual y deseo inamovible, rebelde, de conocerse y experimentar. Y as� aparenta ceder ante las exigencias morales de los hombres, ya sea su recto padre, el dulce y joven carnicero, el atolondrado profesor de instituto o el sacerdote, mientras le susurra al mundo que de su interior solo ella ser� due�a, reina, poseedora, tambi�n la esclava, la pose�da, �pero de m�, due�a de m�, solo esclava de m��.

Esta novela sobre la construcci�n de una identidad propia en la inmediata posguerra espa�ola, donde si a los hombres les era dif�cil saber qui�nes eran, las mujeres no ten�an ni voz ni cuerpo, constituye el fulgurante y oportuno regreso de Rafael Ballesteros a esa narrativa apegada a la pulsi�n po�tica que caracteriza su obra.
