«Hierba mora» is the historical fiction novel by Teresa Moure, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (432 pages, in Spanish).
The novel starts from the black nightshade, a plant with a bad reputation, just like women, and vindicates the passion of love and that of knowledge. Three women —Christina of Sweden, Hélène Jans and Inés Andrade— discover the intimate side of Descartes through 17th-century letters, emails, spells and poems.
«Hierba mora» was originally published in Galician as «Herba moura» in 2005 and won the Xerais Novel Prize and the Critics' Prize. The Debolsillo edition of «Hierba mora» is part of the Best Seller series.
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary narrative interested in the role of women in history and in the figure of Descartes.
