The Shrouded Woman by María Luisa Bombal
The fundamental work of María Luisa Bombal can be contained in a small volume, of which La amortajada (1938) constitutes, undoubtedly, a central piece. In this unique novel a dreamlike and magical universe is exhibited, in which reality and dream are confused. The narrative voice of a dead woman (the shroud) allows the author to unfold the vision of a female life tormented by love, mismatch and the impossibility of life. Representative of the most important female literature in Castilian language, the work of María Luisa Bombal is among the purest expressions of contemporary Spanish American literature.
