La historia de la única heredera de Moctezuma contada como nunca antes.

1521, el imperio azteca se derrumba. Tecuixpo, la hija favorita de Moctezuma, es hecha prisionera por los conquistadores españoles, quienes son responsables de la muerte de su padre y la sangrienta derrota de su pueblo. Ahora, bautizada como Isabel, se ve obligada a vivir según las costumbres y la religión de sus captores.

Inmersa en un mundo de intriga, traición y muerte, la vida le tiene reservado un golpe final: su primera hija le será arrebatada por Hernán Cortés, el hombre al que más odia. Décadas más tarde, Leonor, una joven huérfana y mestiza, tendrá que enfrentarse a todos los que a su regreso a la Nueva España quieren mantenerla sometida para ocultarle la extraordinaria herencia que le corresponde.

La otra Isabel es la monumental aventura de la hija del último tlahtoani, quien perdió su nombre, su imperio y su familia, pero jamás se dejó vencer. En esta extraordinaria novela, Laura Martínez-Belli entreteje a la perfección la ficción histórica con el suspenso del thriller político más revelador.

El destino de la sangre es irrefrenable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The story of Moctezuma's only heir told like never before.

1521, the Aztec empire collapses. Tecuixpo, Moctezuma's favorite daughter, is taken prisoner by the Spanish conquerors, who are responsible for her father's death and the bloody defeat of her people. Now, baptized as Isabel, she is forced to live according to the customs and religion of her captors.

Immersed in a world of intrigue, betrayal, and death, life has a final blow reserved for her: her first daughter will be taken away by Hernán Cortés, the man she hates the most. Decades later, Leonor, a young orphan and mestizo, will have to face all those who, upon her return to New Spain, want to keep her subdued to hide the extraordinary inheritance that belongs to her.

La otra Isabel is the monumental adventure of the last tlahtoani's daughter, who lost her name, her empire, and her family, but never gave in. In this extraordinary novel, Laura Martínez-Belli perfectly weaves historical fiction with the suspense of the most revealing political thriller.

The destiny of the blood is unstoppable.

About the Author

Laura Martínez Belli nació en Barcelona un 23 de abril de 1975. Es hija de padre español y madre nicaragüense. Ha vivido en Panamá, España y México, por lo que se siente como una «ciudadana del mundo». En 1995 llegó a México donde residió durante veinte años, lo que la convierte en una escritora española con una voz muy mexicana.

La autora logra narrar la naturaleza de sus personajes con una mirada íntima y, a la vez, explora de una manera fresca y vívida el contexto histórico en el que se desarrollan sus obras. Algunas de sus novelas están ambientadas en los momentos fundacionales de la historia de México: Por si no te vuelvo a ver (Planeta, 2007) se desarrolla en plena Revolución mexicana; Carlota (Planeta, 2017) es un referente contemporáneo sobre la vida de la emperatriz Carlota de Bélgica y La otra Isabel (Planeta, 2021) cuenta la vida de la hija de Moctezuma.


Laura Martínez Belli was born in Barcelona on April 23, 1975. She is the daughter of a Spanish father and a Nicaraguan mother. She has lived in Panama, Spain, and Mexico, so she feels like a "citizen of the world". In 1995, she arrived in Mexico where she resided for twenty years, making her a Spanish writer with a very Mexican voice.

The author manages to narrate the nature of her characters with an intimate perspective and, at the same time, explores the historical context in which her works are set in a fresh and vivid way. Some of her novels are set in the foundational moments of Mexican history: Por si no te vuelvo a ver (Planeta, 2007) is set during the Mexican Revolution; Carlota (Planeta, 2017) is a contemporary reference on the life of Empress Carlota of Belgium and La otra Isabel (Planeta, 2021) tells the life of Moctezuma's daughter.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Other Isabel
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    The title alone sparks curiosity. Upon delving into the novel, one learns that this is the daughter of Moctezuma, a true Aztec Princess who managed to float on the wind and thus survive. Well written with such descriptive language, the novel strained and then augmented my bilingual ability. It's a story of the Conquest, yes, but so much more. It doesn't shy away from the ugly, reveling in it at times so that the reader can almost touch the dark. And through it all shines Copo de Algodón, la otra Isabel, bridging both cultures and forming a new. A true heroine.
    Fans of history, scholars of the Conquest will enjoy another take on the events. We know of the Spaniards' version of La Noche Triste, now let's hear of not only the Aztec, but of the Aztec prisoners forced to flee with the Spaniards. A work of fiction it is, but look up the facts and one will find they track.
    So much of the Conquest is viewed in a negative light (as befitting the definition of a Conquest.) And, as with most of history, so much of our knowledge is of male characters. It's refreshing to find a female to stand with, to champion. Isabel Moctezuma is just whom we need, both then and now.

    Compré está novela histórica por una recomendación de Gioconda Belli que leí en FB. Ha sido un acierto total. A los que les gusta la historia de la conquista de México, les va a encantar este libro. Escrito por una mujer, sobre una mujer, dando voz a este colectivo que en los libros de historia apenas aparecen: las mujeres indígenas.

    El libro emociona, duele, enamora y hace reflexionar. Además, incluye una reseña histórica que permite distinguir los elementos documentales de los ficcionados, lo cual enriquece aún más la experiencia de lectura.
