Summary/Abstract |
When Malinalli meets the conquistador Hernan Cortez and becomes his interpreter, initially she believes him to the reincarnated forefather god of her tribe and therefore, she helps him to destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. Though they fall passionately in love, she later realises that Cortez'z thirst for conquest is all too human and that he is willing to destroy everything, even their love, for power.
Imbued throughout with mysticism and lyricism and vivid imagery, this is a brilliantly moving book.
