About the Book

UNA SOCIEDAD QUE SE RESISTE AL FIN DE UNA ÉPOCA

Algunas novelas tienen el poder de reflejar la vida en todo su esplendor, trasladarnos a una época prodigiosa, captar el instante preciso en el que todo estaba a punto de cambiar. Esta es una de esas novelas.

UNA MUJER EN BUSCA DE SU PROPIO DESTINO

Micaela es una joven maestra que llega a Comillas, uno de los pueblos más elegantes de la costa cántabra, en el verano de 1883. Allí conoce a Héctor Balboa, un indiano que acaba de regresar de Cuba tras amasar una gran fortuna y está construyendo una escuela para los hijos -y no las hijas- de los aldeanos. Micaela empieza entonces su batalla para que también las niñas puedan recibir la educación que merecen y necesitan, al tiempo que entre ella y Héctor va surgiendo una atracción capaz de derribar todas las barreras.

EL MUNDO ESTÁ CAMBIANDO Y NADIE PODRÁ IMPEDIRLO

Ambientada a finales del siglo XIX, en un momento histórico decisivo y lleno de contrastes, Un destino propio nos habla de aquellas primeras mujeres valientes que se atrevieron a alzar la voz contra una sociedad que se negaba a escucharlas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For fans of María Dueñas and Luz Gabás, the story of a woman searching for a destiny of her own in a society that refuses to admit the end of an era.

Santander, 1883. Micaela Moreau, a twenty-nine-year-old «spinster», goes to spend the summer in the home of her wealthy aunt and uncle with the idea of seeking employment at a school for young women. Once there, she discovers that a school is on the verge of opening, but for boys only. While Micaela travels through the villages trying to convince the villagers that their daughters should go to school as well, she meets Héctor Balboa, the benefactor who is funding the school.

And as Micaela persuades Hector of the importance of giving girls an education, an attraction between them becomes ever harder to control
