La casa del algodón

This novel is inspired by real events. An unusual story under the gaze of a protagonist often invisible in our history books: the woman. Her narration takes place at a time when we can only glimpse, fleetingly, the harsh environment of those who starred in it. We bring you closer to those unexplored years to be witnesses, with fleeting moments, of what happened thanks to the story of Sara, mother, daughter, wife and tireless warrior, with an unwavering spirit of improvement. We will sail through the reign of Felipe II, we will face the invading English, we will learn more about the Age of Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the revolt in Haiti, the plantations in Havana... We invite you to go up with Sara to the attic of the memories, to mess around in their boxes and read their documents, so that they can be intimate with this family that for hundreds of years has been faithful to the fulfillment of a promise: to preserve and transmit the legacy of what happened to them. The Ponce de Villasanta are strong as an oak and hard as stone, their life was not easy, but despite the vicissitudes of time, with its unpredictable mysteries, they manage to grow in adversity. They become strong, sometimes almost invincible.
