The Scroll of Seduction by Gioconda Belli

Worth reading. A good research of Spanish history with a contemporary touch that makes the novel intriguing and yet educational. Easy to read, once you start reading it you can put it down.

Simplemente una preciosa obra

Es un hermoso libro que cuenta una historia de forma tan real que permite al lector encarnarse en la vida de la protagista. Seguramente a partir de leer este libro sientan unas ganas terribles de conocer cada obra de Gioconda Belli, como tambien la curiosidad de saber los secretos mas profundos de los personajes que forman la historia del mundo; reyes, reinas, princesas, seres humanos como cualquiera de nosotros, con sentimientos, dolores, dudas, amor. Espero disfruten esta novela tanto como yo..

Great entertainment, and very imformative

This is great book that would keep you guessing and engaged. The soft erotic air of the storie gives it a tremendous sex appeal. It gives a clear picture of the intrigues and betrayal of royal chamber in the king' court of Europe. We can appriciate that little has change in our circle of Government. On the other side the book focus on a great love story of high magnitude. Excellent reading. A must read.

magnifico

Este libro me sedujo. Hace mucho que no corro a la casa despues de trajabar porque quiero seguir leyendo... y no me acuesto hasta tarde por la misma razon. Devore este libro en un par de dias. Los dos cuentos entrelazados- el cuento moderno pero rara de Lucia y Manuel, tanto como el cuento antiguo de Juana la Loca y Felipe el Hermoso, me encantaron. Empece a entender mas el estilo de vida de las princesas espanolas de los 1500- es decir, lo aprendi por primera vez! Les recomiendo este libro: contiene mucha historia, mucha emocion, y hasta un poco de sexo bien interesante. Un libro extraordinario.
