Book Overview

by Laura Esquivel (Author)

Bestselling author of Like Water for Chocolate Laura Esquivel returns with Malinche, an extraordinary retelling of the passionate and tragic love affair during the conquest of the Aztecs between the conquistador Cortez and his Indian interpreter Malinalli.

When Malinalli, a member of the tribe conquered by the Aztec warriors, first meets the conquistador Hern?n Cort?s and becomes his interpreter, she--like many--believes him to be the reincarnated forefather god of her tribe. Naturally, she assumes she must welcome him, and help him destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. The two fall passionately in love, but Malinalli soon realizes that Cort?s's thirst for conquest is all too human, and that he is willing to destroy anyone, even his own men--and even their own love.
