UNA SOCIEDAD QUE SE RESISTE AL FIN DE UNA EPOCA

Algunas novelas tienen el poder de reflejar la vida en todo su esplendor, trasladarnos a una epoca prodigiosa, captar el instante preciso en el que todo estaba a punto de cambiar. Esta es una de esas novelas.

UNA MUJER EN BUSCA DE SU PROPIO DESTINO

Micaela es una joven maestra que llega a Comillas, uno de los pueblos mas elegantes de la costa cantabra, en el verano de 1883. Alli conoce a Hector Balboa, un indiano que acaba de regresar de Cuba tras amasar una gran fortuna y esta construyendo una escuela para los hijos -y no las hijas- de los aldeanos. Micaela empieza entonces su batalla para que tambien las ninas puedan recibir la educacion que merecen y necesitan, al tiempo que entre ella y Hector va surgiendo una atraccion capaz de derribar todas las barreras.

EL MUNDO ESTA CAMBIANDO Y NADIE PODRA IMPEDIRLO

Ambientada a finales del siglo XIX, en un momento historico decisivo y lleno de contrastes, Un destino propio nos habla de aquellas primeras mujeres valientes que se atrevieron a alzar la voz contra una sociedad que se negaba a escucharlas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For fans of Maria Duenas and Luz Gabas, the story of a woman searching for a destiny of her own in a society that refuses to admit the end of an era.

Santander, 1883. Micaela Moreau, a twenty-nine-year-old "spinster", goes to spend the summer in the home of her wealthy aunt and uncle with the idea of seeking employment at a school for young women. Once there, she discovers that a school is on the verge of opening, but for boys only. While Micaela travels through the villages trying to convince the villagers that their daughters should go to school as well, she meets Hector Balboa, the benefactor who is funding the school.

And as Micaela persuades Hector of the importance of giving girls an education, an attraction between them becomes ever harder to control
