""Pasquala of Santa Ines: A Tale of Mission Santa Ines"" is a historical fiction novel written by Helen M. Roberts. The story is set in the late 18th century in California, during the time of Spanish colonization. The protagonist, Pasquala, is a young Native American girl who lives in the Santa Ines Mission. She is torn between her loyalty to her tribe and her growing affection for the Spanish friars who have taken her in. As she struggles to find her place in this new world, Pasquala must confront the harsh realities of colonialism and its impact on her people. The novel explores themes of identity, culture clash, and the power dynamics between colonizer and colonized. Through Pasquala's journey, Roberts sheds light on the complex history of California and the indigenous people who inhabited it before the arrival of Europeans.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
