«La papisa» is the historical novel by Donna Woolfolk Cross, published by Salamandra in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
In medieval Europe, Joan of Ingelheim, educated in letters and medicine, adopts the identity of her dead brother to enter the monastery of Fulda. Her talent takes her to Rome, where she becomes embroiled in the intrigues of papal power and ends up occupying the throne of Saint Peter as John Anglicus.
The plot is set in the ninth century and recreates the legend of Pope Joan, whose existence was recognized by the Catholic Church for centuries until it was denied in the seventeenth century.
Ideal for readers of historical and religious fiction, particularly those interested in the Middle Ages and in fictionalized biographies of extraordinary women.
