Official synopsis Publisher
En esta obra admirable, Valera nos relata la historia de Doña Luz, hija del marqués de Villafría. De procedencia algo dudosa por parte de madre y, sin embargo, reconocida por el marqués, cuando niña, la pequeña Luz vivió en distintos hogares. Al morir el marqués, confía a su hija, a la sazón de 15 años, al cuidado de su administrador Don Acisclo. El hombre cuida bien a Doña Luz, quien permanece en el pueblo llevando una vida ejemplar y haciéndose querer por todo el mundo, pero desdeñando a cualquier posible pretendiente.
