About This Book
A lyrical fantastic legend set in Granada weaves ornate descriptions of place and memory with a tragic love story: a sheltered noblewoman awakens to passionate feeling, provoking her protector's fury and a familial curse that precipitates ruin. The narrative moves between poetic evocations, intimate domestic scenes, and testimony offered to authority, slowly revealing guilt, fate, and uncanny consequences. Themes of desire, honor, memory, and inexorable destiny are explored through alternating lyric interludes and a progressively darkening sequence of events that blend the personal and the supernatural.
