«La favorita» is the historical novel by Aurora García Mateache, published by La Esfera de los Libros in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
In the mid-19th century, Elena Sanz, raised in the hospice of Las Niñas de Leganés, dreams of singing at the Teatro Real in Madrid. Her contralto voice leads her to triumph on Europe's stages, but her romance with Alfonso XII condemns her to a fate parallel to Donizetti's La Favorita: exile, scandal and forbidden love.
The novel belongs to the Doce Reinas collection from La Esfera de los Libros and is Aurora García Mateache's first historical novel.
For readers of historical fiction interested in 19th-century Spanish monarchy and fictionalised biographies of women.
