Plácida the Young Woman gives its name to this collection of three magnificent stories and is a small masterpiece that describes the traits of a humble and resigned Galician peasant woman who is about to become a mother while her husband is in a distant country. It is dedicated “To a woman—and through her, to all the hard-working women of the Galician countryside—who died near the author in October 1955, without them ever having exchanged a word... She was very young. Her name was Plácida.”
