Premio de novela historica Grijalbo - Claustro de Sor Juana.

La esclava de sor Juana Ines de la Cruz fue tambien, a su modo, una discipula, la primera escucha de versos, sonetos y redondillas. Una mujer mulata cuyas aventuras y peripecias nos exaltan y nos llevan a descubrir los contrastes de la Nueva Espana del siglo XVII.

Enamorada de la posibilidad de descifrar lo que las letras dicen juntas, Yara sigue los pasos de la madre poeta. Acata las ordenes de las monjas del convento de San Geronimo. Oye los consejos de la tornera. Pero sobre todo, se guia por el impetu, por ese fuego interno que deriva siempre en la entretenida insumision.

La esclava de Juana Ines es un relato que aviva la picardia, que se nutre de un lenguaje poetico, y que rescata del olvido historico a un personaje tan real como imaginado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The historical novel award Grijalbo - Sister Juana Cloisters.

Sister Juana Ines de la Cruz’s slave was also in her own way, a disciple, the first to hear verses, sonnets, and quatrains. A mulatto woman whose adventures and unforeseen events excite us and allow us to discover the contrasts of the New Spain of the 17th Century.

In love with the possibility of deciphering what the letters say when put together, Yara follows in the steps of the mother poet. She heeds the orders of the nuns of the San Geronimo convent. She listens to the turner’s advice. But, above all, she is guided by momentum, by that internal fire that always leads to entertaining mutiny.

Juan Ines’s Slave is a story that fans mischievousness, nurtures poetic language, and rescues from historical oblivion a character as real as imagined.
