«Hierba mora» is the historical and romantic novel by Teresa Moure, published in 2006 by Lumen in hardback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Three women connected to Descartes drive the narrative: Queen Christina of Sweden, her lover Hélène Jans, and the student Inés Andrade. Letters, poems, recipe books, and herbals reconstruct the philosopher's intimate life, portraying him as a man incapable of love, and restore agency to silenced female voices.
Spanish edition of the work originally published in Galician as «Herba moura», winner of the Xerais Novel Prize and the Galician Narrative Critics' Prize.
For readers of historical fiction who appreciate intimate portraits of famous figures and female voices recovered from the past.
