UPCOMING DATES

Romance, motherhood, poetry, infidelity, women's rights, and scandal in the Spanish VIceroyal Court of 17th Century Mexico, are just some of the tantalizing elements in this captivating and masterfully written debut novel.

In 1689, lured by the imagined grandeur and adventure of the Viceroyal court, Josefina, a sheltered landowner's wife accepts the invitation from the Marquesa to socialize with the intellectual and cultural elite. There she finds an intense and complicated world, populated by the Marquis, the Bishop of Puebla, and the famous poetess, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.

She also finds our just how vast the reach of the Inquisition is, as she becomes immersed in subversive poetry, treacherous lust, and holy and unholy love.
