En la España del siglo XVIII, una conmovedora historia de amistad, pasión y venganza une dos voces de mujer en un canto desgarrador por la libertad.

Enero de 1748. Una mujer negra deambula por las calles de Sevilla. Ha abandonado a su hijo y ha huido de un pasado esclavo en Cuba. Caridad ya no tiene un amo, pero tampoco un lugar donde cobijarse. Entonces conoce a Milagros Carmona, una joven gitana de Triana por cuyas venas corre la sangre de la rebeldía. Las dos mujeres se convierten en inseparables y, entre zarabandas y fandangos, la gitana confiesa a su nueva amiga su amor por el apuesto y arrogante Pedro García, de quien la separan antiguos odios entre ambas familias. Por su parte, Caridad se esfuerza por reprimir sus sentimientos por Melchor Vega, el abuelo de Milagros, un hombre desafiante, bribón y seductor, pero también firme defensor del honor y la lealtad.

Pero cuando un mandato real convierte a todos los gitanos en proscritos, la vida de Milagros y Caridad da un trágico vuelco. Aunque sus caminos se separan, el destino volverá a unirlas en un Madrid donde confluyen contrabandistas y cómicos, nobles y villanos; un Madrid que se rinde a la pasión que emana de las voces y bailes de esa raza de príncipes descalzos.

Ildefonso Falcones nos propone un viaje a una época apasionante, teñida por los prejuicios y la intolerancia. Desde Sevilla hasta Madrid, desde el tumultuoso bullicio de la gitanería hasta los teatros señoriales de la capital, los lectores disfrutarán de un fresco histórico poblado por personajes que viven, aman, sufren y pelean por lo que creen justo. Fiel reflejo de unos hombres y mujeres que no agacharon la cabeza y que alzaron la voz para enfrentarse al orden establecido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A romantic and thrilling historical adventure from the internationally bestselling author whose work Diana Gabaldon has called "Enthralling".

Spain, 1748. Caridad is a recently freed Cuban slave wandering the streets of Seville. Her master is dead and she has nowhere to go. When, by chance, she meets Milagros Carmona--a spellbinding, rebellious gypsy--the two women become inseparable. Caridad is swept into an exotic fringe society full of romance and art, passion and dancing.

But their way of life changes instantly when gypsies are declared outlaws by royal mandate and their world as a free people becomes perilous. The community is split up--some are imprisoned, some forced into hiding, all fearing for their lives. After a dangerous separation, Caridad and Milagros are reunited and join in the gypsies' struggle for sovereignty against the widespread oppression. It's a treacherous battle that cannot, and will not, be easily won.

From the bustle of Seville to the theatres of Madrid, The Barefoot Queen is an unforgettable historical fresco filled with characters that live, suffer, and fight for the lives of those they love, and for the freedom they can't live without.

Quality vs Representation
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
Please check clothing due to finding the blazer a bit dirty as if someone wore it with Cat hair and dust along with a dead bug and smelling a fishy smell. We ordered in advance to take it to the dry cleaners for additional wash before using. Quality is great material; tie not included be sure to measure before purchasing to avoid any tailoring.

Earned its 5 stars!
Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Small
My husband has a thin frame and struggles to find dress clothes that fit well without breaking the bank. Since the size measurements were very detailed, we decided to take the gamble and hope for the best. This is genuinely the best fitting suit he has ever owned. It looks custom tailored. The material is great quality and the price point is even better. We suggested this suit to our groomsmen and were delighted to see it well accommodated a variety of body types. My husband loved his suit so much we bought him one in another color and had great success with that order as well. HIGHLY recommend this suit set!

Great suit, great price
Size: Small, Color: Dark Grey
Had to send back because jacket (small size) was too tight around my upper torso so you could tell it didn't fit right. The pants though were the perfect fit, so much so I contemplated keeping the suit - it looked expensive. The suit was delivered as promised so I am thankful for that. Beause I needed it for a wedding the next day I couldn't wait on this seller as I didn't see them offering an overnight delivery. But kuddos to them though for working with me
