She has abandoned her son and fled a past of slavery in Cuba. Caridad no longer has a master, but she also has no place to shelter. Then she meets Milagros Carmona, a young gypsy woman from Triana whose veins run with the blood of rebellion. The two women become inseparable and, between zarabandas and fandangos, the gypsy woman confesses to her new friend her love for the handsome and arrogant Pedro García, from whom ancient hatreds between their families separate her. For her part, Caridad struggles to suppress her feelings for Melchor Vega, Milagros's grandfather, a defiant, rogue and seductive man, but also a staunch defender of honor and loyalty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut when a royal decree turns all gypsies into outlaws, the lives of Milagros and Caridad take a tragic turn. Although their paths diverge, fate will bring them together again in a Madrid where smugglers and comedians, nobles and villains converge; a Madrid that surrenders to the passion emanating from the voices and dances of that race of barefoot princes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIldefonso Falcones proposes a journey to an exciting era, tinged by prejudice and intolerance. From Seville to Madrid, from the tumultuous bustle of the gypsy quarter to the stately theaters of the capital, readers will enjoy a historical fresco populated by characters who live, love, suffer and fight for what they believe is just. A faithful reflection of men and women who did not bow their heads and who raised their voices to confront the established order.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«Falcones has established himself as the best-selling Spanish historical novelist in the world.»\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEl País\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ildefonso Falcones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060840366328,"sku":"9788490624029","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/products\/P62402C.jpg?v=1665538013","url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/products\/libro-reina-descalza-la","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
