Introduction
In this passionate work, Álvaro Vargas Llosa makes the reader feel the beating heart of Francisca, the mestiza daughter of Pizarro, product of a love between the conqueror and the Inca princess Inés Huaylas. Vargas Llosa helps to uncover what Francisca was feeling on the inside, while on the outside significant events were happening in the history of Modern Spain and the conquest of Peru: divisions within the native people, and confrontations between the conquerors. Description in Spanish: Más que cronista o historiador, confidente casi, Álvaro Vargas Llosa nos lleva en esta obra apasionante a sentir el latido del corazón de Francisca, la hija mestiza de Pizarro —fruto de sus amores con la princesa inca Inés Huaylas. A lo largo de los años, ante los ojos de la joven heredera de dos mundos se suceden episodios capitales en la historia de la España Moderna y la conquista del Perú: la división indígena, los enfrentamientos entre los conquistadores, el riesgo de sedición, la constitución del poder virreinal... Una vida cuyo destino final es sorprendente.
