In this captivating and passionate work, Álvaro Vargas Llosa invites the reader to feel the heartbeat of Francisca, the mestizo daughter of Pizarro, born from his love for the Inca princess Inés Huaylas. Almost like a confidant, Vargas Llosa helps us uncover what Francisca felt deep inside while, in the outside world, important events in the history of Spain were unfolding: the conquest of Peru, the divisions among native peoples, and the clashes between the conquistadors themselves. With the risk of independence, Francisca was sent to Spain to prevent her from becoming a banner for those challenging the Spanish Crown. This is the story of Francisca, the heiress of two worlds, who leads a surprising life.
