Daughters of the Maid

On a February night at the dawn of the 20th century, in the Castle of the Holy Spirit, two girls were born: Clara and Catalina. Girls whose fates were predetermined by the right of birth. Girls who, unknowingly, were related... to each other. A fleeting infatuation of Señor Valdes with one of the maids turned into a terrible secret that his family continued to carry like a stone. How many lives did he break and how many people did he make unhappy? Scenes, days, and years replace each other, like frames of a film, as landscapes of Spain, Cuba, and Argentina flash before the reader’s eyes. But nowhere can the Valdes family find peace. This is a story about the strength of spirit that opposes the betrayals of men, neglect, and injustice. A story about how women took the lead in a business empire and the legacy they passed on to their children.
