Malinche's Conquest

The narrative centers on Malinche, the Amerindian translator for Hernán Cortés, whose translations played a pivotal role in the fall of the Aztec Empire. Often labeled a traitor in Mexico, her life is shrouded in both controversy and legend. The author explores her remarkable journey from being abandoned as a child to becoming Cortés's interpreter and concubine, navigating a tumultuous era with intelligence and resilience. Despite her significant impact on history, Malinche's personal story has largely gone unrecognized until now.
