«Las Yeguas Finas» is the novel by Guadalupe Loaeza, published by Premio Planeta in paperback (214 pages, in Spanish).
Sofía, an eleven-year-old girl, takes refuge in imaginary worlds to escape an adult world that suffocates her.

Like a «yegua fina» different from the others, she narrates her adventures in a convent school with humor and melancholy.

Recommended for those who enjoy fiction in Spanish with child protagonists and a bittersweet tone about the transition to adulthood.
María Guadalupe Loaeza Tovar is a contemporary Mexican writer, author of many books including Las Niñas Bien, Las Reinas de Polanco, Debo, Luego Sufro and Compro, Luego Existo, in which she ironizes about the Mexican upper class. A participant in Elena Poniatowska's writing workshops in the mid-1980s, she has transformed her success as a chronicler, observer, and critic of the Mexican bourgeoisie and the post-1985 democratization of Mexico into a successful career. Known for her trademark pearl necklace and for her francophile tendencies, she has become an influential cultural figure. Some of her books are compilations of her articles published in newspapers such as Unomásuno and La Jornada. She was born in Mexico City. She had two children from her first marriage. In 2003, Guadalupe Loaeza received the distinction of Chevalier from the Légion d'Honneur of France.
