Hija del Pescador, La

Salome, daughter of Herodias and niece of the tetrarch Herod, flees the palace after being publicly humiliated and touched by the monster her mother calls her husband. Mariam, daughter of a Galilean fisherman, escapes an arranged marriage that threatens to silence her soul. When their paths cross in a market in Tiberias, neither imagines that this moment will mark the beginning of a forbidden friendship, a dangerous journey... and a revelation that will change their lives forever. Narrated from the lucid, defiant, and deeply human voice of Salome, The Fisherman's Daughter is a novel about women in a turbulent era, about the desire for freedom in a land dominated by empires and prophecies, and about how a gesture of tenderness can be more revolutionary than a sword. "One of the most widely read authors in Mexico, with more than 10 bestsellers published. La hija del pescador is a global phenomenon that has come to Spain to stay."
