A Gift or an Unexpected Setback?

The novel’s events unfold in the first half of the 1990s in the Far East. Leaders at all levels and their subordinates have jumped into the process of “asset grabbing.” Special zeal in this endeavor is shown by the head of the railway division and the director of the port. Cecília, the wife of the railway boss, taking into account her only daughter Sofia’s firm belief that you should marry only out of love, decides to arrange her daughter’s “love” carefully. The object of love is found. A play about love was devised through acquaintances and brilliantly performed. But some characters’ dreams are not destined to come true.
