Description

The Barefoot Queen by Ildefonso Falcones is set in 1748 Seville, where Caridad, a recently freed Cuban slave, finds herself without a home. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she meets Milagro Carmona, a young gypsy woman who introduces her to the vibrant gypsy community. As they navigate the tumultuous world of tobacco smuggling and persecution of the gypsies, Caridad and Milagro find love and experience profound change. The book is a historical fresco that explores the birth of Flamenco and the lives of its characters, who live, love, fight, and suffer for what they believe. Through its richly detailed portrayal of 18th-century Spain, The Barefoot Queen brings to life a fascinating period in history, one marked by passion, rebellion, and the resilience of the human spirit.
