When he meets 16-year-old Lucía on an outing from her boarding school, he offers to narrate a story of dire consequences--that of the Spanish Queen Juana of Castile and her legendary love for her husband, Philippe the Handsome. Promised to Prince Philippe the Handsome to solidify ties between the Flemish and Spanish crowns, Queen Juana immediately fell in love with her betrothed with all the abandon and passion of her fiery personality. Theirs was one of the most tumultuous love stories of all time. But Juana, who was also one of the most learned princesses of the Renaissance, was forced to pay a high price for being headstrong and daring to be herself. Those at court who could not fathom Juana as heir to the throne of the most important empire of its day conspired against her and began to question her sanity. Eventually she came to be known as Juana the Mad.

  • "De zeventienjarige Lucía leidt een eentonig leven achter de muren van een streng klooster in Madrid waar ze sinds haar dertiende woont. Totdat ze de jonge historicus Manuel ontmoet. Hij doet onderzoek voor een proefschrift over Johanna de Waanzinnige, de tragische koningin van Castilië. Johanna werd in de zestiende eeuw voor gek verklaard en opgesloten in een kasteel in het Spaanse Tordesillas. Zij bleef daar gevangen tot aan haar dood. Manuel is getroffen door de gelijkenis tussen Lucía en Johanna. Om door te dringen in de gedachtewereld van Johanna steekt hij Lucía in de kleren uit Johanna's tijd. Tussen het meisje en de historicus ontstaat een liefdesrelatie. Een relatie die steeds vreemdere vormen aanneemt. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
