A sumptuous novel of love and loss set in 17th-century Spain. From the author of the bestselling novel, 'The Binding Chair'.

In this luscious, hypnotic novel, Kathryn Harrison twists together their stories, bringing to vivid life the wonders and the horrors of 17th-century Spain, a world convulsed by poverty and religious upheaval.
