Dawn breaks over the walls of old Cartagena on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and a very long story begins. Carmen, a child of unusual spiritual insight, grows up questioning everything she is taught, and her questions push the young padre José towards a break with the Church that he fears would kill his mother. The novel is openly a vehicle for its author’s religious ideas.
