Me kāna puke mua «Me he mea lā he wahaheʻe»Me nā autobiograpical overtones (akā pili paʻa i kona ola), ʻO Juan del Val ua ala aʻe ia i kahi haʻalulu a ʻūlū pū kekahi hoʻi i nā ʻāpana ʻokoʻa loa i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka moʻokalaleo koʻikoʻi. Akā ʻo ia kekahi mea ʻē aʻe, e pili ana i ka mea i hōʻike hewa ʻia i hōʻike ʻia i lawa ai i nā ʻano papaho like ʻole.
Akā i ka hopena, ka mea a ka mea kākau i hōʻike ai i loko o kēlā puke i hala ma mua i kona hiki ke lawehala, neʻe, hoʻopilikia a pīhoihoi paha. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, kahi hui pū o nā mea waiwai e hoʻololi i kekahi hana o kekahi kumuhana i mea pili, no ke kumu.
A hele mai kēia puke hou me ka inoa wahine: «Candela». A ke ʻike ʻoe iā ia, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka protagonism wahine e puka mai ana mai ka inoa i koho ʻia no ka protagonist i hana i ka inoa, e hoʻokūpaʻa ana i ka pilikino o kēia wahine i hana i ke ao holoʻokoʻa mai ka hoʻomaka.
ʻO ke kaulike kahi pilikia e manaʻo ʻia e kiʻi ʻia mai luna akā he mea hoihoi pū kekahi e hana pū me lalo. A ma laila nā ākea a me nā moʻolelo e like me kēia i nui kahi ākea e lanakila ai.

No laila ke hui ʻana me Candela i waenakonu o kāna ʻano murky, o kahi hana āna i hoʻowahāwahā ai ma ke ʻano he kahu wahine a lawelawe ʻo ia i kāna mea hoʻomākeʻaka ʻīlio ʻīlio mai kēlā papa a kēia papa, a ʻo ka hopena o ka hoʻopili hou ʻana.
