About this audiobook

Bestselling author of Like Water for Chocolate Laura Esquivel returns with Malinche, an extraordinary retelling of the passionate and tragic love affair during the conquest of the Aztecs between the conquistador Cortez and his Indian interpreter Malinalli.

When Malinalli, a member of the tribe conquered by the Aztec warriors, first meets the conquistador Hernán Cortés and becomes his interpreter, she—like many—believes him to be the reincarnated forefather god of her tribe. Naturally, she assumes she must welcome him, and help him destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. The two fall passionately in love, but Malinalli soon realizes that Cortés's thirst for conquest is all too human, and that he is willing to destroy anyone, even his own men—and even their own love.

Ratings and reviews

THE RIGHT COVER BUT THE WRONG FILE. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AVAILABLE. I emailed them, called them, and sent a message through the website; no response/ wrong response.They just do not answer the phone because of "COVID19" What does the virus has to do with providing good customer service??? The email response stated that they can not give me a refund. I DID NOT REQUEST A REFUND, I WANT THE RIGHT FILE. It seems like they are saving tons of money by automating and just providing NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL.

Do not purchase this audiobook! This is the wrong file. This is for the audiobook, "The Spellman Files." This needs to be corrected immediately.
