La Otra Manzana de Eva, (Paperback)

In the heart of Golden Age Spain, where the Inquisition lurks and convents hold secrets, Liliana--a young countess of noble birth but with a rebellious soul--finds herself trapped in a life she did not choose. Her body belongs to a brutally heartless husband; her heart, to a woman who loves her with a love as deep as it is forbidden, a love that can only be freely expressed in letters, texts, and poems. What her lover writes to her are words inflamed with desire, reflections that question the divine order, fables that ridicule the guardians of the faith. They are words that the Church would burn at the stake if it discovered them. And it does end up discovering them. But they are words that both treasure as the only proof that a real life is possible beyond the pretense of obedience to the rules. When the years of waiting end and her beloved reappears, Liliana realizes that true love is not a compensation for the daily horror: it is an act of rebellion. But freedom must be earned, and sometimes it is earned only at the price of revenge. A revenge that will be meticulous, relentless, perfect--one that will demand determination, intelligence, and even consistency and loyalty to one's own values. Through prose that alternates the rawness of violence with the beauty of classical poetry, La otra manzana de Eva weaves a story of three women who refuse to be victims. It is a novel about the right to desire, about writing as a weapon of salvation, and about the rituals of self-justice that women invent when the law condemns them for the crime of daring to be themselves.
