by Veronica Chapa (Author)

El recuento imaginado de los triunfos y pesares de una de las mujeres más controversiales e incomprendidas de la historia de México y su mitología, perfecto para lectores de Dioses de jade y sombra, de Silvia Moreno García, y La herencia de Orquídea Divina, de Zoraida Córdova.

Figura histórica de la vida real, la mujer conocida como Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, Doña Marina y Malinalxóchitl fue la intérprete nahua que ayudó al conquistador español Hernán Cortés a comunicarse con los nativos de México. Cuando los líderes indígenas la veían entrar andando a sus ciudades, la creían una diosa, bendecida con el poder divino de interpretar las intenciones que tenían los españoles para su tierra. Más tarde, los historiadores y la cultura popular la declararon traidora: la joven "india" que ayudó a vender el futuro de México a los invasores.

En esta apasionante y fantástica narración, Malinalli es todas esas cosas y más, pero en el fondo es una jovencita secuestrada y convertida en esclava a los doce años que pelea por sobrevivir la devastación provocada por la ambición y la crueldad tanto de los españoles como de Moctezuma. Bendecida con poderes mágicos y apoyada por un círculo muy unido de sacerdotisas, el debut de la autora Verónica Chapa teje una historia épica de magia, sororidad, supervivencia y resiliencia mexicana. Es la primera novela que reimagina y reinterpreta la historia de Malinalli con la empatía, la humanidad y la admiración que desde siempre ha merecido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An imaginative retelling of the triumphs and sorrows of one of the most controversial and misunderstood women in Mexico's history and mythology, perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Gods of Jade and Shadow and Zoraida Córdova's The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina.

A real-life historical figure, the woman known as Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, Doña Marina, and Malinalxochitl was the Nahua interpreter who helped Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés communicate with the native people of Mexico. When indigenous leaders observed her marching into their cities, they believed she was a goddess--blessed with the divine power to interpret the Spaniards' intentions for their land. Later, historians and pop culture would deem her a traitor--the "Indian" girl who helped sell Mexico's future to an invader.

In this riveting, fantastical retelling, Malinalli is all of those things and more, but at heart, she's a young girl, kidnapped into slavery by age twelve, and fighting to survive the devastation wrought by both the Spanish and Moctezuma's greed and cruelty. Blessed with magical powers, and supported by a close-knit circle of priestesses, Mali vows to help defend her people's legacy. In vivid, compelling prose, debut author Veronica Chapa spins an epic tale of magic, sisterhood, survival, and Mexican resilience. This is the first novel to reimagine and reinterpret Malinalli's story with the empathy, humanity, and awe she's always deserved.
