"Doña Perfecta" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a realist novel published in 1876. When young liberal Pepe Rey arrives in the provincial cathedral city of Orbajosa to marry his cousin Rosario in an arranged match, he expects a simple union. Instead, he encounters his aunt Doña Perfecta and the meddling cathedral canon Don Inocencio, whose traditional religious views clash violently with his modern outlook. This confrontation between old Spain and new ideals
leads to devastating consequences for all involved. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
