LAURA ESQUIVEL reading & book signing for "Malinche" Friday, May 12th at 7 pm
Laura Esquivel's new novel, "Malinche," is a richly imagined retelling of the tragic love affair between the conquistador, Hernán Cortés, and his Indian interpreter, Malinalli. Bursting with lyricism and vivid imagery, Malinche tells the story of a woman trapped between the Mexicas civilization and the invading Spaniards - and unveils new truths behind a legendary love affair.
Laura Esquivel was born in Mexico City. Her first novel, "Like Water for Chocolate," has sold more than four and a half million copies around the world. It remained on the New York Times bestseller list for more than a year and was made into a Golden Globe nominated film.
