This is a great story. It is full of courage and sadness. It describes the live of Dolores Veintimilla. She was born in Quito and came to Cuenca. While she wrote poetry, she defended a man who got condemned to death. But the society specially writers like Fray Vicente Solano among others started criticized and attacked her. She could not live like that. She killed herself.
I have not read this book, but it sounds to be really interesting. For some people like me it is a better way to learn by reading interenting stories like this one in stead of reading boring ones just with dates.
I hope you can leand me some day so I can read it.
