Enamorada de la posibilidad de descifrar lo que las letras dicen juntas, Yara sigue los pasos de la madre poeta. Acata las rdenes de las monjas del convento de San Ger nimo. Oye los consejos de la tornera. Pero sobre todo, se gu a por el mpetu, por ese fuego interno que deriva siempre en la entretenida insumisi n.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the Grijalbo - Sister Juana Cloisters Historical Novel Award. Sister Juana In s de la Cruz's slave was also in her own way, a disciple, the first to hear verses, sonnets, and quatrains. A mulatto woman whose adventures and unforeseen events excite us and allow us to discover the contrasts of the New Spain of the 17th Century. In love with the possibility of deciphering what the letters say when put together, Yara follows in the steps of the mother poet. She heeds the orders of the nuns of the San Geronimo convent. She listens to the turner's advice. But, above all, she is guided by momentum, by that internal fire that always leads to entertaining mutiny. Juan In s's Slave is a story that fans mischievousness, nurtures poetic language, and rescues from historical oblivion a character as real as imagined.
