One night on Christmas Eve, two government men dressed in black come and take the father with them, leaving him for a very long time away from his family. The mother falls ill from the intensity of her grief over her husband, who is accused of treason. But as soon as she recovers, she begins to seek the help of her elderly sister, whom the children hate because she mistreated them, and the evil maid who beat them in their mother's absence. Then the mother is forced to sell her house and move to the countryside to live in a small, modest house because of the difficult economic circumstances resulting from the husband's absence and the high costs required to hire a lawyer. She devotes herself to working as a writer to cover her living expenses and those of her three children. An exciting novel worth reading. Get it and complete the story to the end.
