About this listen

Con un pretexto de estudiar a fondo la vida de La Reina Juanade Castilla, mejor conocida como Juana La Loca, Manuel, unhistoriador de la universidad Complutense, y Lucía, una jovenestudiante, se entrelazan en una apasionante historia de amor.

Planteando un juego donde la narración se hará a través de lavisión y uso de las ropas del estilo del siglo XVI, Manuel describey narra la vida de la Reina Juana de Castilla, unamujer visionaria dentro de una sociedad machista que no la reconoce como reina, aunque lo ejerce, sino la reduce por su condición de mujer y sus desplantes a ser encerrada, declarándola loca, y así terminar sus días en 1555.Se plantean varias preguntas en esta novela - si en verdad enloqueció de amor, o los celos y la impotencia la hacían tener exabruptos que los irracionales sacerdotes y gente de la corte la catalogaban como loca.Ofue víctima de las intrincadas redes de la política y ambición. Como una vidente o espiritista, Lucía acepta que Juana la Loca entre en su cuerpo y su mente para contar su visión de los hechos.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Fascinating story, unevenly told

The story of Juana of Castile is intriguing and the premise of telling her story through Lucia, a young, orphaned school girl seemed promising. Unfortunately, I found Lucia's story annoying more often than not -- some aspects seem to be drawn too obviously from the author's own personal early history and sexual activity (The Country Under My Skin). Manuel comes across as a shallowly drawn character exacerbated by the rather wooden narration for his character. I felt the relationship between Manuel and Lucia seemed superficial and unrealistic, never really taking off so that the reader cared about either of them. Juana is a compelling character, but at times is delivered like a Wikipedia profile of her life and history.

I felt that the parallel story lines become contrived and even silly at points. The 'steamy' sections were rather on the clinical side and did not advance the story except to ensure that both Juana and Lucia were both pregnant at the same time and facing terrible life choices, purportedly to make both stories more powerful. Didn't do the job.

Having said that, I far preferred listening to the story (in Spanish) on Audible rather than reading it (also in Spanish) as I had originally tried several years ago when I just stalled out.

Gioconda Belli is a talented writer with interesting ideas and stories to tell. I enjoyed this effort of hers more than the above would indicate. Just wish more of her poetic side had shone through and that her editor had exercised more judgment.

Entretenida

Creo que el final de la historia fue forzado para acabar rápido. Me hubiera gustado otro desenlace pero no esta nada mal la historia como tal.

Muy interesante me atrapó la historia

Super aburrido

Un libro extremadamente aburrido con personajes neuróticos, donde abunda la locura y no precisamente la de Juana.
