«A flor de piel» is the historical novel by Javier Moro, published by Booket in paperback (496 pages, in Spanish).
In 1803, a corvette sets sail from La Coruña with twenty-two orphaned children tasked with carrying the smallpox vaccine to overseas territories. Accompanied by Isabel Zendal and led by the physician Francisco Xavier Balmis and his assistant Josep Salvany, the expeditioners face storms, shipwrecks, and opposition from those seeking to profit from the mission. The novel reconstructs that humanitarian feat and the struggle between the two men vying for the love of the only woman on board.
The work is part of Booket's Novela collection. It recounts the Royal Philanthropic Expedition of the Vaccine and was first published in 2015.
Recommended for readers of historical and adventure novels, particularly those who enjoy great real-life epics featuring anonymous characters.
