Como el propio CAMILO JOSÉ CELA afirma en una nota a la primera edición, esta novela «no es otra cosa que [Š] un trozo de vida narrado paso a paso, sin reticencias, sin extrañas tragedias, sin caridad, como la vida discurre». Ambientada en Madrid en unos pocos días del mes de diciembre de 1943, la obra refleja la realidad intrahistórica de aquellos días de incertidumbre de la posguerra a través de unos personajes inmersos en una insignificancia que como afirma GONZALO...
