A Daughter’s Place
A SWEEPING HISTORICAL ROMANCE INSPIRED BY THE REAL-LIFE DAUGHTER OF MIGUEL DE CERVANTES, CELEBRATED AUTHOR OF DON QUIXOTE
MADRID, 1599. Following her mother’s sudden death, fifteen-year- old Isabel goes to live in the family home of her father, the poet and war hero Miguel de Cervantes, a man she has never met. Forced to pose as a maid to conceal her illegitimate status, Isabel must adapt to a new way of life with her jealous cousin and protective aunts while she waits for her father to return from Seville. Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Esquivias, Miguel’s pious and faithful wife Catalina similarly awaits his return, blissfully unaware of Isabel’s existence.
