Leona Vicario, the insurgent heroine, has died. She died in the midst of that whirlwind that is the Republic of Antonio L???pez de Santa Anna, "a misnamed State that is nothing more than an infected puddle in which ambitious tadpoles and opportunistic salamanders live." Few know today that the death of Leona Vicario, the Nation's Mother, brought about a motley concert in which the most diverse characters in Mexico's public life took part in: Lucas Alam???n and Carlos Mar???a de Bustamante, muleteers and servants, Benito Ju???rez and old Blondie Rodr???guez, ladies of high society and poor folk, Valent???n G???mez Far???as and former inquisitors, living heroes, old military men, cloistered and released nuns, relatives, as well as her widower, Don Andr???s Quintana Roo. With fine irony, historical rigor, and an accurate use of language, Carlos Pascual carries out a careful reconstruction that brings to life a series of historical characters while defining a profound psychological portrait of Leona Vicario. A complex mosaic created as a craftsman that made this work the winner of the Grijalbo Bicentennial Prize for Historical Novels. "Written in the context of Mexico's most dramatic times, La insurgenta / The Insurgent shows us that, on the threshold of the greatest disappointments, Mexican women burst forth with the same human quality as Leona Vicario, the protagonist of a novel that marvels from the first to the last page." --???lvaro Cepeda, Contral???nea
