The Last Princess of the Pacific
- Virginia Yagüe
Synopsis:
La última princesa del Pacífico tells of the coming of age of Carlota Díaz de la Fuente, who is Spanish but grew up in Spain’s most remote and forgotten colony: the Philippines.
Carlota’s fate is to come of legal age and formalize her marriage in 1896, when rumours of a possible revolution start to spread and a rebel movement fights for independence from the Spanish crown.
Over the next two years, Carlota will experience a series of revelations that will make her aware of the political and social reality of the colony, the changes coming with the end of the century and her frustrations as a woman. Her journey will culminate with an unexpected love and a painful but definitive bereavement during the siege of Manila and the loss of the colony to the United States.
