Summary "The Torrent (Entre Naranjos)" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Rafael Brull, a young deputy returning to his hometown of Alcira after some time in Madrid, where he grapples with the expectations of his political family, his mother’s ambitions, and his own emotional turmoil regarding a mysterious woman he has become enamored with. The opening of the novel introduces Rafael as he navigates the reactions of those around him to his return from the bustling political life in Madrid. Feeling the weight of his family's legacy, especially under the watchful gaze of his mother, Doña Bernarda, he reflects on his childhood and the contrasting expectations placed upon him now as a deputy in a politically charged environment. This backdrop sets the stage for Rafael's internal conflict; he is torn between familial obligations and personal desires, particularly his fascination with a woman referred to as the "Blue House" figure, which he has been clandestinely visiting. His encounters with her evoke both longing and anxiety as he seeks a balance between societal pressures and his passionate yearnings for something outside the confines of his political existence.
