by Herminia Luque is a sharp, irreverent historical novel that re-examines one of Spain's most controversial figures—King Ferdinand VII—through the eyes of the women who knew him. Winner of the II Premio Ramiro Pinilla de Novela Corta , the book blends satirical chronicle with epistolar narrative to dismantle the myth of the "Desired King". Synopsis and Themes
