Here is an unusual book in Spanish: a rather amazing novel about one of the most famous interpreters of all time. It's a powerful story. Malinalli was a 16th century Mayan young woman from a poor family who was bought and sold, trafficked and forced to change loyalties, languages and religions before falling into the hands of the Spanish conquistadores.

 

Then she became the interpreter for the Spanish invaders--and as a result, was considered a traitor of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The historical record and this novel suggest otherwise... Quite an extraordinary work!
