But it’s not until his death that she learns of something else she’s inherited—a cocoa estate in Vinces, Ecuador, a town nicknamed “París Chiquito.” Eager to claim her birthright and filled with hope for a new life after the devastation of World War I, she and her husband Cristóbal set out across the Atlantic Ocean. But it soon becomes clear someone is angered by Puri’s claim to the estate… When a mercenary sent to murder her aboard the ship accidentally kills Cristóbal instead, Puri dons her husband’s clothes and assumes his identity, hoping to stay safe while she searches for the truth of her father’s legacy in Ecuador. Though freed from the rules that women are expected to follow, Puri confronts other challenges at the estate—newfound siblings, hidden affairs, and her father’s dark secrets. Then there are the dangers awakened by her attraction to an enigmatic man as she tries to learn the identity of an enemy who is still at large, threatening the future she is determined to claim… “A lush Ecuadoran cacao plantation is the setting for this imaginative historical drama filled with sibling rivalry and betrayals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK España. The country’s Spanish name rolls off the tongue so easily, provoking images of a lazy afternoon during siesta as warm breezes gently stir you awake. Upon awakening, you would stroll over to the nearest restaurant on Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s most famous street, and sit down for some steaming-hot tapas. As you knock back a glass of wine while waiting for your order, the thought hits you: if only you had a lovely Spanish lady by your side to complete this perfect moment. This book will attempt to help you find that dark-haired, boisterous woman of your dreams. Playboys and voyeurs, however, beware. Since this guide is written by a girl, respect and good intentions will be requirements on the journey. But if you heed my woman’s intuition to the end, with a little bit of luck and the key foreign languages phrases in this book, you will be successful no matter what your aim, be it a first date or long-term relationship. MEET THE AUTHOR Having trudged through four continents and lived in two countries by the age of 21, Yoonj considers herself a citizen of the world. It is through this perspective that she approaches everything in her life, including writing. Having studied journalism and international studies at Northwestern University, she is keen to tell stories of people and events around the world. She has previously written for The Chicago Tribune, The Orange County Register, and dabbled in documentary production at CNN. Her next stop will be e.tv, a television channel in Johannesburg, South Africa, where in her free time she hopes to indulge her other interests of food, drink, and dance. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK So you’re at the club, or cafe, or whatever your social venue of choice is, to meet people. You look around and spy over in the corner a tanned shoulder, dark eyelashes, a beautiful smile. A chica bonita. You’re dying to go over and talk to her but you have absolutely no idea what to do, what to say, or even which smile to give her. My advice to you: have no worries. Spanish girls, at least the many I’ve met through traveling, possess a wonderful combination of qualities: they stay relaxed while being vivacious talkers. All you will need is an interesting fact about yourself, so you’re basically covered since by virtue of being a foreigner in Spain (or Mexico, or any other Spanish-speaking country), you’re instantly interesting. Use that to your advantage, since one of the best ways to experience a new country is to meet new people. Now all you need to do is straighten your collar, fix that cowlick, and head on over to her armed with these Spanish terms. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book Land of Women written by María Sánchez and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: María Sánchez is obsessed with what she cannot see. As a field veterinarian following in the footsteps of generations before her, she travels the countryside of Spain bearing witness to a life eroding before her eyes—words, practices, and people slipping away because of depopulation, exploitation of natural resources, inadequate environmental policies, and development encroaching on farmland and villages. Sánchez, the first woman in her family to dedicate herself to what has traditionally been a male-dominated profession, rebuffs the bucolic narrative of rural life often written by—and for consumption by—people in cities, describing the multilayered social complexity of people who are proud, resilient, and often misunderstood. Sánchez interweaves family stories of three generations with reflections on science and literature. She focuses especially on the often dismissed and undervalued generations of women who have forgone education and independence to work the land and tend to family. In doing so, she asks difficult questions about gender equity and labor. Part memoir and part rural feminist manifesto, Land of Women acknowledges the sacrifices of Sánchez’s female ancestors who enabled her to become the woman she is. A bestseller in Spain, Land of Women promises to ignite conversations about the treatment and perception of rural communities everywhere.

Download or read book Spanish Women Writers and Spain s Civil War written by Maryellen Bieder and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) pitted conservative forces including the army, the Church, the Falange (fascist party), landowners, and industrial capitalists against the Republic, installed in 1931 and supported by intellectuals, the petite bourgeoisie, many campesinos (farm laborers), and the urban proletariat. Provoking heated passions on both sides, the Civil War soon became an international phenomenon that inspired a number of literary works reflecting the impact of the war on foreign and national writers. While the literature of the period has been the subject of scholarship, women's literary production has not been studied as a body of work in the same way that literature by men has been, and its unique features have not been examined. Addressing this lacuna in literary studies, this volume provides fresh perspectives on well-known women writers, as well as less studied ones, whose works take the Spanish Civil War as a theme. The authors represented in this collection reflect a wide range of political positions. Writers such as Maria Zambrano, Mercè Rodoreda, and Josefina Aldecoa were clearly aligned with the Republic, whereas others, including Mercedes Salisachs and Liberata Masoliver, sympathized with the Nationalists. Most, however, are situated in a more ambiguous political space, although the ethics and character portraits that emerge in their works might suggest Republican sympathies. Taken together, the essays are an important contribution to scholarship on literature inspired by this pivotal point in Spanish history.

Download or read book Hairy Spanish Girl written by L. E. Vega and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel "Ms. Quixote Goes Country - Raised on the Marxist Frontier" is the sequel to the novel "Hairy Spanish Girl". Leave it to the author L.E. Vega to defy with boldness and assurance by sailing straight through as a writer. Having very modern ideas, the author's original goal was to sculpture the literary image of an educated Hispanic woman, something practically unheard of in 1980 when the novel was conceived. The achieved result, however, is a humorous progression of an unyielding hairy Spanish girl who keeps quiet and does not draw attention. Picture Libby Castillo, a youngish Spanish American woman in the heart of New York City who could easily be a real life character in any of today's circles. She is forced to work from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in order to surreptitiously be out of the office before she grows her hysterical five o'clock shadow. Her peculiar plot leads the reader through a series of hairy situations that can only be described as engaging in chapters that resound the amusing but harmless world of Salvador Dalí.

Book excerpt: The Spanish Girl is a love story, but one with an unexpected ending. Frank Walsh, a young teacher in 1980s London, is unhappily married to Rania, a young Guyanese girl who was a student in one of his English classes. Rania runs to Frank to escape from her overbearing Muslim family. She is also looking for a surrogate father, her biological father having died when she was a child. Frank takes Rania in. However, he soon realises they are incompatible, their coexistence made unbearable by a clash of personalities and cultures. He feels trapped: he doesn't have the heart to leave Rania, because it would mean sending her back to her oppressive family; it would also mean finding himself alone again. While teaching on a summer school in Dublin, Frank falls in love with Ana, a Spanish girl in his class. He hopes Ana will be his escape route from his unhappy marriage. But his love for Ana hits a wall he never expected. Then someone else unexpectedly comes into his life. He falls in love again, but it's a love far more powerful than anything he has ever experienced or imagined before.
