Set in 1648 Spain, the story follows fifteen-year-old Luis, who stands out in the small village of Riodelgado due to his unique ability to read. This skill sets him apart from his peers and shapes his experiences as he navigates a world where literacy is rare. As he grapples with his differences, the narrative explores themes of knowledge, isolation, and the quest for identity in a society that may not understand him.
