| Summary | "Maximina" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the story of Miguel Rivera and his fiancée, Maximina, as they prepare for their wedding and navigate the complexities of their budding relationship within a small village setting. The narrative unfolds amid themes of love, societal expectations, and personal insecurities, highlighting the innocence and emotional depth of the characters. At the start of the story, Miguel arrives in the village excited about his impending marriage to Maximina. He is greeted by the enthusiastic boat-woman, Ursula, who shares villagers' sentiments about the marriage. As he approaches her home, an array of emotions reflects his eagerness, anticipation, and love for Maximina, who appears shy and apprehensive about their union.
