Narrativamente es un libro muy inteligente, porque utiliza a un personaje que en principio es neutral para hacer un discurso en favor del ideario socialista. Pelagia, la viuda analfabeta, maltrtada y sin ningún interés en la política es la protagonista. A través de sus viviencias y del amor que tiene por su hijo vamos viendo como se va radicalizando a lo largo del libro, y pasa de tener miedo a los amigos socialistas de su hijo a acogerles en su casa e incluso ayudarles a repartir propaganda cuando lo arrestan.

El libro además es muy actual a pesar de haber sido escrito hace más de 100 años y hay discursos de la boca de algunos de los personajes que siguen siendo relevantes
