Una novela épica de amor, descubrimiento y aventuras escrita por la autora de Cuando era puertorriqueña "La narración de Santiago es emocionante.... Un triunfo." --The Washington Post Desde que era una niña en la España del siglo diecinueve, Ana Larragoity Cubillas se siente atraída por la exuberante y exótica isla de Puerto Rico que describen los diarios de un antepasado que viajó a la isla junto a Ponce de León. Y en los hermanos gemelos, Ramón e Inocente -ambos enamorados de ella-, Ana encuentra la forma de llegar allí se casa con Ramón y convence a los hermanos de que su destino se encuentra en la remota plantación de azúcar que han heredado en la isla. Pero las fantasías de Ana no la han preparado para el implacable calor, los peligros de una tierra salvaje, ni los esclavos de quienes depende la existencia de la Hacienda Los Gemelos. A pesar de las tragedias y privaciones, el misterio y romance de la isla la mantienen cautiva, y Ana lo sacrificará casi todo con tal de mantener el control de la tierra que se ha convertido en su verdadero hogar. Y cuando finalmente encuentra la pasión en un sitio antes prohibido, la vida y la riqueza por las que ha trabajado se ven amenazadas por las mismas personas sobre cuyos hombros se ha levantado. Un relato sensual y fascinante: la historia cobra vida cuando se cuenta a través de la vida de una indomable e inolvidable mujer. «Si, como dice el refrán, la historia la escriben los vencedores, entonces Esmeralda Santiago ha imaginado la historia escrita desde el punto de vista de los invencibles. Esta narración, notable por su detallismo, imaginación, meticulosa investigación y sabiduría, es historia escrita por una guerrera vencedora en el esplendor de su poderío». --Sandra Cisneros, autora de La casa en Mango Street y Mujer sin vergüenza, entre otros «Una apasionante epopeya que no solo revela la vida de una mujer extraordinaria, sino también una etapa esencial de la historia puertorriqueña. Rica en detalles de la época, con un dramatismo inolvidable y una fascinante galería de personajes, Conquistadora seducirá lectores, almas y corazones».--Cristina García, autora de Soñar en cubano y Mapas difusos, entre otros «Conquistadora es una novela maravillosa de opulenta trama, con una historia inolvidable que no solo ilustrará a los lectores con respecto a la fascinante historia de Puerto Rico en el siglo XIX, sino que además los deleitará con una narrativa entretenida y de profunda sensibilidad. Un gran logro de una de nuestras mejores escritoras» -Oscar Hijuelos, ganador del premio Pulitzer «Hamacas, corsés, jerez, encajes, caña de azúcar y un amor prohibido».- Oprah Winfrey
«La escritora le da vida a la historia caribeña con personajes tan humanos como icónicos. La riqueza de su imaginación y la exuberancia de su lenguaje maravillarán a los amantes de las novelas épicas». -Publishers Weekly ENGLISH DESCRIPTION As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de León. And in handsome twin brothers Ramón and Inocente--both in love with Ana--she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramón, and in 1844, just eighteen, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island. Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda's slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny--a once-forbidden love--she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home. This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life.

Corgi goes crazy for this ball
Six months now, still five stars. It is still easily our Corgi’s favorite ball & she still enjoys it all kinds of ways. Rather than tiring of it she likes it even more. She really likes the tabs that make it so easy to grab & hold onto. The ball is all roughed up & torn up still but held up well & has not had to be pumped back up at all. As others noted a small manual ball pump, about 10” with i think 3 different attachments, is included with each order. The glow in the dark stuff is apparently a coating of some kind which has been totally rubbed off. I used an art pen with glow liquid to trace the pattern on the ball for a glow refresh, we’ll see how long that lasts. It is hard to find toys she likes that much, i highly recommend!
Our Welsh Corgi goes nuts for this slightly smaller size soccer ball. She had a full-sized ball that we left slightly deflated so she could run with it. This one is even better than i ever would’ve guessed it would be! The tabs, including a longer tab useful as a handle for humans, make it easy for her to grab it or run all over playing keep away with it. Not interested in herding this ball when she can run all over the yard with it or carry it everywhere with her. She’s a super strong chewer in spite of being small so it is extra durable by our tough standards & it appears that it will last at least a year im guessing. Quality materials & craftsmanship. It’s held up over a month - roughed up but not excessively.
The glow in the dark feature is not as bright as the photos - don’t buy it just for that - but it glows some given enough daytime sun, and a dark night so the glow can show. Only the top side of the ball that’s facing up can absorb the sunlight at a time so it’s unlikely that the entire ball could get the amount of sunlight needed to glow brightly all at once.
All and all this is the best, most well used toy purchased for her during her one year with us, well worth the $$ and recommend buying it if your pet enjoys balls, keep away, herding, and/or fetch, anything like that. She also likes to hide it from me, just the right size for that.

Pawsome product!
Color: Glow in the dark I, Size: Medium
Pawsome for our doggos! We have bought 5 because the puppy chewed the tags off. Our dogs are border / aussie mix and love the challenge of these balls. We named them "Wilson" because they treat them like their best friend.

My Monster Dogs destroyed these balls
Color: Glow in the dark II, Size: Large
I was so excited to get two of these balls for my doodle puppies to have to play with . THEY DESTROYED THEM IN ALL OF TEN MINUTES. I don't believe that there was anything wrong with the balls. They were beautiful, high quality balls. Just not durable enough for my doodles.
