bel Gramesón, que en el siglo XVIII se convirtió en la primera mujer en recorrer la Amazonía ecuatoriana.

Cuando en 1740 se desmantela la expedición científica de la que forma parte Jean Godin des Odonnais, y que tenía como objetivo calcular la longitud del meridiano terrestre en Ecuador, Isabel Gramesón, su esposa, toma la decisión más arriesgada de su vida. Por amor, irá en busca de Jean, atravesando el río Amazonas, en una aventura jamás emprendida por una mujer. Acompañada por una comitiva de indígenas y por parte de su propia familia, Isabel vivirá una lucha por la supervivencia en un lugar hostil y prácticamente inexplorado para el hombre. Conseguirá reencontrarse con su esposo?

Después de Hija del mar (Plaza & Janés, 2021), que ganó el Premio de Novela Histórica Pozuelo de Alarcón, Alicia Vallina narra una trepidante novela histórica sobre una mujer que acometió una hazaña inigualable con la que demostró su amor y su espíritu de superación.

"Una aventura épica a la altura de las grandes gestas históricas, protagonizada por una heroína real cuya peripecia estremece y cautiva desde la primera página". Isabel San Sebastián

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The astonishing true story of Isabel Gramesón, who in the eighteenth century became the first woman to traverse the Ecuadorian Amazon.

In 1740, French scientist Jean Godin des Odonnais was part of an expedition to measure the length of the meridian at the equator. Separated from her husband for decades, Isabel Gramesón makes the most reckless decision of her life: For love, she sets off to find Jean, traveling down the Amazon River in an adventure unheard of for a woman at the time. Accompanied by indigenous guides and family members, Isabel struggles to forge ahead in a hostile and largely unexplored environment. Will she succeed in reuniting with her long-lost husband?

Following the success of Hija del mar (Daughter of the Sea, Plaza & Janés, 2021), which won the Pozuelo de Alarcón award for Best Historical Novel, Alicia Vallina tells the story of an intrepid woman driven by love to embark on an incredible feat of survival.

"An epic adventure on a par with the greatest historical deeds, featuring a real-life heroine whose travails captivate the reader from the very first page."-Isabel San Sebastián
