The Queen of the Valley by Lorena Hughes
"My instinct is to say this was a very fun read, but it wasn't ALL fun: there are definitely difficult and traumatic events throughout, including a sexual assault, attempted murder, actual murder, and a cholera epidemic. Oh and an earthquake, but that" Read more of this review »

“The truth was that this perfection, these beautiful objects surrounding me, held no meaning for me.”
Lorena Hughes, The Spanish Daughter

“I liked her immediately. She had one of those friendly faces that promised late nights, wine, and entertaining conversation. Under different circumstances, Montse and I could’ve become close friends.”
Lorena Hughes, The Spanish Daughter

“It goes to show you,” the father said, shaking his head. “You can never fully trust people. You think you know someone, but then, as soon as you turn your back on them, they’ll stab you.” He pointed his finger at his elder son, as though teaching him a lesson that had escaped his younger one. “The only God out there is money. It’s the one everyone follows.”
Lorena Hughes, The Spanish Daughter
