Episodio 654: What is the Place of a Daughter? A daughter's Place by Martha Bátiz

Written by the Mexican author Martha Bátiz and published by House of Anansi Press, A Daughter’s Place takes us into the life of one of the most important figures in Spanish literature, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. The conduit is his daughter Isabel, and through her we enter Spain’s Golden Age, the lives of women, the concerns of the writer himself, and a story that begins in the domestic sphere and extends to the nation itself. Alice Banks reads a review of this essential book that was long overdue.
