About This Book

Una narradora en primera persona reúne memorias y testimonios para relatar las intrigas políticas y militares que rodean la restauración del poder monárquico tras una intervención extranjera. A partir de fragmentos de un manuscrito femenino y de observaciones personales, describe pactos y disensiones entre comisionados reales, la mediación en el extranjero, el manejo torpe de fondos y el contraste entre la ambición de los conspiradores y el sacrificio de las partidas populares. La obra combina crónica histórica, retratos sociales y episodios íntimos para mostrar cómo se tejen conspiraciones, se negocian apoyos y se despliegan consecuencias públicas y privadas.
