When Sara restores a sixteenth-century manuscript about an Aztec princess enslaved by CorteÌs and sent to Europe to entertain the pope and Emperor Charles V, she doesn't realize the power of the tale she's about to immerse herself into. The princess, we find, is determined to avenge the slaughter of her people, and Sara is determined to prove that the book, which caused scandal when first published, was written by the Aztec princess herself, and not the European monk reputed to have penned it. Entwined within Sara's fascination of the manuscript is Sara's own life: the frustration over her inability to commit to Karl, the man who has loved her since high school; the haunting wisdom of her departed mother; and the stability of a father who sees the world in a way Sara does not, both pragmatically and unyieldingly. 650 0 $a Manuscripts $x Conservation and restoration $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women museum curators $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Los Angeles (Calif.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Aztec women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authorship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Spain $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Manuscrito $x ConservacioÌn y restauracioÌn $v Novela. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Aztecas $v Novela. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Arte de escribir $v Novela. $2 bidex 651 7 $a Los AÌngeles (Calif.) $v Novela. $2 bidex 651 7 $a EspanÌa $v Novela. $2 bidex 700 1 $a Valenzuela, Liliana, $d 1960- 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hc041/2003049225.html 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820065059.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150922022550.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=852E26DE2B0511DE80C1F007A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
