Description
Margarita, orphaned early and almost without memories of her mother and father, knows only one thing: she is the heiress of the noble de la Roche house. Stubborn, brave, and unwilling to submit, the girl keeps upsetting her kind-hearted elderly nanny, Dameen, who does everything in her power to teach her manners and noble etiquette. While neither of them suspects what troubles the harsh will of Margarita’s powerful guardian, Jean-François de Roberval, is preparing for them: seizing the fortune of his young relative, he will try to break not only her hopes, but her very character.
The surprising thing about Margarita de la Roche’s survival story is that it relies on genuine testimonies preserved in writings from the era of the Great Geographic Discoveries. A dark and gripping plot—at once frightening and breathtaking—unfolds against a rich historical backdrop and is subtly stylized, turning the narrative into an elegant, almost woven tapestry.
