Juego de Damas
The legendary Lake Como hides innumerable secets and mysteries. Throughout generations, it has been the silent witness to stories of passion, vengeance, ambition and death; some very well-known, other scarcely murmurred on winter evenings or lost in the dusty pages of a forgotten book. In one such book, two centuries old, the young Ventura sisters – Francesca and Claudia – heiresses of one of the most powerful families in the north of Italy, find in the story of Lady Morgan the inspiration and encouragement they need to get rid of the stepmother they hate.
In her third novel, Mamen Sánchez tells a modern day fairy story with its roots in the 19th century which surrounds the reader with a halo of magic, mystery and emotions that go straight to the heart.
