Review:
Maria Duenas is a true storyteller.

Don't pass it by * El Mundo * A literary cocktail that mixes adventure, espionage, glamour, aristocracy and passion * La Vanguardia * A magnificent novel that flawlessly brings together history and intrigue. Sira Quiroga - the seamstress - won't be easily forgotten -- Juan Gomez-Jurado, author of * The Moses Expedition *
