Description
A Thousand Orange Trees by Kathryn Harrison is a sumptuous novel set in 17th-century Spain. Against the backdrop of intrigue and poverty, two women's lives become intertwined as they navigate love, loss, and the complexities of their world. Marie Louise de Bourbon's journey from Versailles to marry the Spanish king marks the beginning of her downfall, while Francisca de Luarca's fate is sealed in a prison cell far from the Queen's chamber. As Kathryn Harrison weaves their stories together, she brings to vivid life the wonders and horrors of 17th-century Spain. This imaginative novel explores the darker side of royal courts and the human cost of love and ambition, set against the lush backdrop of Spanish culture and history.
