About the book
Relatando la historia desde su lecho de muerte, Matilda cuenta la historia de la confesión de su padre sobre el amor incestuoso que sentía hacia ella, seguido por su suicidio mediante ahogamiento; su relación con un talentoso poeta joven llamado Woodville fracasa ante el objetivo de remendar las emociones de Matilda o prevenir su muerte solitaria.
