Description
Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Of Love and Other Demons
Woven into the splendor and decadence of 18th-century slave-owning America is the sad story of Sierra Maria, a 12-year-old marquise who was passed on to a famous writer by her grandmother and turned into a novel. Rejected by her parents since birth, the little Marquise is suspected of being possessed by a mad dog, locked in a convent and faced with the prejudices and ignorance of the time, the incomprehension and ruthlessness of religious people, the horrors of the Inquisition and the infinite pain of hopeless love.
