A decaying town frozen in time in the mountains... A dreamy young woman who read books by the riverbank and longed to leave the village... An old woman perpetually seated before her door, accompanied by the spirit of her deceased husband... A foreigner carrying gold bars... These are the characters and setting of a story in which the foreigner—certainly the Devil, according to the old woman—proposes to the young woman, Miss Prym, that she give the gold bars to the small community... but the condition was terrifying. Book Condition: Used, Good Condition (like new) Possibility of hand-delivery or postal shipment at additional cost (Postal service costs are the same throughout Portuguese territory)
