In His Only Son, Bonifacio Reyes, a romantic flautist by vocation--and a failed clerk and kept husband by necessity--dreams of a novelesque life. Tied to his shrill and sickly wife by her purse strings, he enters timidly into a love affair with Serafina, a seductive second-rate opera singer, encouraged by her manager who mistakes Bonifacio for a potential patron. Meanwhile, Bonifacio's wife experiences a parallel awakening and in the midst of a long-barren marriage, surprises them both with a son--but is it Bonifacio's? In the accompanying novella, Dona Berta, an aged, poor, but well-born woman forfeits her beloved estate in search of a portrait that may be all that remains of the secret love of her life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Costa, Margaret Jull, $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 700 12 $a Alas, Leopoldo, $d 1852-1901, $e author. $t Dona Berta. $l English. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Alas, Leopoldo, 1852-1901, author. $t His only son. $d New York : New York Review Books, 2016 $z 9781681370194 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013544.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304032214.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61EB384A8B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
