Kirkpatrick in Hispanic Journal, in Espina's La virgen prudente protagonist Aurora's "situation presents the other side of the literary norm. Traditional marriage is what is precisely harmful although it averts the impeding of the important work of revitalizing Spanish society in order to realize radical changes in the actions that establish womanhood. Espina intends to use [protagonist] Victoria as an interlace between the world of the liberated feminists of the Republic and the world of the masculine control of the [revolutionary Fascist] Falange [movement], but with no escape.

The two positions are incompatible and Victoria has to set her hopes with one or the other. Middle ground does not exist.

But the importance of the diary not only resides in character testimony, in the entry, it is owed the receipt of major attention. These amorous couples, however, experience a rude awakening to the realities and atrocities of the [Spanish] Civil War.

It has been brought out in a new English translation by Anna-Marie Aldaz in , and yet it appears that I have to add the book to my Out-of-Print Collection. On the literary side the prolific author produced over fifty novels along with short stories, poetry, plays, essays, and occasionally, biographies.

For Gabriel this is a sign that his future lies in the belly of the earth and together with Thor he sets out for Nerva in the Rio Tinto mining district. Almost there the two men meet the old miner and unionist Vicente Rubio and his daughter Casilda who take the newcomers in and help them have a good start.
