The cockroaches leave rainbow colors all over everything from eating the crayons we left outside the tent, and now a tractor is coming to scrape our camp into the river. Standing in front of the tent in my nightgown, I know my own truth: I just want to be normal.

Isabel de Castilla es un personaje absolutamente poliédrico. Autoritaria y firme en sus convicciones, impulsó la aventura colombina, y se abrió a la incipiente cultura renacentista. Fue también una madre afectuosa y una esposa enamorada que conoció - como luego su hija Juana - el tormento de los celos, pero que no dudó a la hora de reservarse el gobierno del reino que le era propio aún a despecho de su esposo, Fernando de Aragón. Una visión íntima y cercana de la reina más poderosa de su tiempo.

Decía Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) que «donde se celebra matrimonio sin amor, habrá amor sin matrimonio». La historia confirma esa máxima y por eso las aventuras amorosas de los monarcas siempre se contemplaron con una cierta indulgencia. Es evidente que, a día de hoy, las circunstancias han cambiado, pero lo cierto es que la «mujer del rey no siempre es la reina. Así lo demuestran, al menos, las veinte historias de amor que, desde el siglo XIV al XXI, desfilan por estas páginas.

Apricot Irving grew up as a missionary’s daughter in Haiti. Her father was an agronomist, a man who hiked alone into the deforested hills to preach the gospel of trees. Her mother and sisters spent their days in the confines of the hospital compound they called home. As a child, this felt like paradise to Irving; as a teenager, it became a prison. Outside of the walls of the missionary enclave, Haiti was a tumult of bugle-call bus horns and bicycles that jangled over hard-packed dirt, road blocks and burning tires triggered by political upheaval....

È un refrain ripetuto con regolarità dai giornali, dalla televisione, dalla pubblicità: la donna come mistero, come non detto, come seduzione di uno sguardo velato; la donna che custodisce il proprio segreto gelosamente, come fa con la casa, i figli, la famiglia. La donna che chi la capisce è bravo, a sentire i discorsi da bar.
