As a parallel story, it also tells the story of Lucia, an orphan from Central America, who is studying in a boarding school in Madrid. I agree with another reviewer who thought the story of Lucia and Manuel was unnecessary.

Those at court who could not fathom Juana as heir ed the throne of the most important pa of its day conspired against her and began to question her sanity. Availability can change throughout the month based on the library’s budget. A tad on the odd side.
I really wanted to finish it, but it is irritating me more and more as I go on. Also disappointing is that the historical setting is just that: Siempre me ha fascinado la figura de Juana. The worst book I have ever read.
Por ello mismo, me hubiera gustado que la historia fuera solo sobre el personaje de Juana. Your session has expired.

Try refreshing the page. It seemed to me that this book was divided into two stories.
