"The tombstone shattered with the first blow of the pickaxe, and a living mane of intense copper spilled out of the crypt. The master builder wanted to pull it out completely with the help of his workers, and the more they pulled, the longer and more abundant it seemed, until the last strands came out, still attached to a child's skull."In the splendor and decline of 18th-century slave-owning America, the story of Sierva María de Todos los Ángeles was written, the little marquise confined in a convent where she will face the prejudice and ignorance of her time, the horrors of the Inquisition and incurable disease, and the inexhaustible pain of hopeless love. Her legend, overflowing with magic, will transcend centuries to question the nature of faith, passion, and even the definitive oppression of death. |
