Resumen del Editor
An epic novel of love, discovery, and adventure by the author of the best-selling memoir When I Was Puerto Rican.
As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de León. And in handsome twin brothers Ramón and Inocente - both in love with Ana - she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramón, and in 1844, just 18, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island.
Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda’s slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny - a once-forbidden love - she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home.
This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life.

From Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story "filled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable man" (Sue Monk Kidd). With "pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs.

Wayétu Moore’s powerful debut novel, She Would Be King, reimagines the dramatic story of Liberia’s early years through three unforgettable characters who share an uncommon bond. Gbessa, exiled from the West African village of Lai, is starved, bitten by a viper, and left for dead, but still she survives. June Dey, raised on a plantation in Virginia, hides his unusual strength until a confrontation with the overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the child of a white British colonizer and a Maroon slave from Jamaica, can fade from sight when the earth calls him.

description on Puerto Rico la isla y su gente
I loved the description of la isla as it changed hand from Tainos to Españoles. How Su Gente changed from separates to Boricuas. How the influence of African Cultural was seen, heard and today still the strongest part of our culture. Eve though we speak Spanish it's not the words it's the meaning. Y tu donde esta tu Abuela.

A magnificent story that captures the disturbing slavery history of Puerto Rico in such an epic way. I would love to see Conquistadora turned into a series on Starz, HBO Max, or even Netflix.

flawed but sometimes beautiful
First of all, I have to defend the author's narration. Santiago is Puerto Rican and the cadence and style of how she reads her work is typical of the storytelling style of Puerto Rico. I felt I was being read a story by one of my older relatives who is no longer alive. This was her story, she wanted to narrate it herself.
I enjoyed the book overall for the story, though I felt there were many times when I was being told what was happening as opposed to being shown. Santiago was trying to cover a long period of time and I felt that some of the details she chose to focus on were handled heavily while other aspects of the story were glossed over. Her descriptions of the land were beautiful. I felt some of the characters felt flat and unreal. But, I was interested in her version of history so I kept listening. I was a little disappointed with the ending but I probably would have been more annoyed if it had all wrapped up neatly.

Tedious
I managed to hang in there through the entire story, but more through determination than enjoyment. It dragged on with, what I felt was, too much minutia. Show me, don't tell me...at times it felt like a text book with dialog. And speaking of the dialog, it was unreallistic and contrived...used solely for the purpose of "instructing" the listener some more (just in case the author hadn't explained herself enough in her labored narrative.) I didn't care about any of the characters. I was grateful when it ended. No way can this be compared to GWTW.
