The young bride has just arrived back from Argentina, at the start of the twentieth century, to get married to the son of the Family of her spouse. But the son has just set off on a business journey and so obviously is not at home, so then the young bride has to wait patiently for his return. All this takes place in an Italian Villa, and while waiting for the son, both the father and the mother and the daughter try to educate the young bride who is only 18 years of age, by physical means, that is to say eroticism. Perhaps they are trying to teach her how to seduce the son when he gets back. The plot is sometimes complicated and includes situations which seem grotesque. The prose is good and old-fashioned. The author offers a very materialist picture of what is really about sexuality and conjugal relations and describes the environments of bad repute where the father leads the young bride. There are frequent erotic scenes throughout the whole of the novel.
