Description:

Con más de 500.000 ejemplares vendidos de sus obras, Isabel San Sebastián regresa con una aventura trepidante de coraje, familia y honor sobre el papel fundamental que las mujeres, olvidadas por las crónicas, tuvieron en la Reconquista.

Año 1069 de Nuestro Señor. Cristianos y musulmanes libran una lucha sin cuartel en Hispania, divididos a su vez en reinos y taifas arrasados por disputas intestinas. En ese mundo despiadado, Auriola relata a su nieto Diego la gesta de su abuelo Ramiro, caballero de frontera caído en combate al servicio de su rey, mientras defiende sola la tierra que su esposo ganó con la espada. Abuela y nieto deberán sobrevivir a las guerras fratricidas entre Navarra, León y Castilla, salvar el legado familiar y plantar cara a la brutal acometida de los almorávides.

Además de una obra que refleja en toda su crudeza y fascinación una época determinante de España, La Dueña es un emotivo relato que llega al corazón y que nos muestra cómo los grandes conflictos de la Historia afectan a miles de historias anónimas escritas con sangre y sudor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With more than 500,000 copies of her works sold, Isabel San Sebastián returns with a thrilling adventure of courage, family, and honor about the key role that the women forgotten by the chronicles had in the Spanish Reconquista.
 
The year 1069 of Our Lord. Christians and Muslims wage a merciless fight in Hispania, at the time divided into kingdoms and taifas (Muslim factions) devastated by internal disputes. In this ruthless world, Auriola recounts to her grandson Diego the deeds of her grandfather Ramiro, a knight fallen in combat at the service of his king, while she alone defends the land that her husband won by the sword. Grandmother and grandson must survive the fratricidal wars between Navarra, León, and Castile; save the family legacy; and stand up to the brutal attack from the Almoravids.
 
In addition to a work that reflects in all its crudeness and fascination a decisive time in Spain, The Landlady is an emotional story that reaches our hearts and shows us how the great conflicts of history impact thousands of anonymous stories written with blood and sweat.
