María Dueñas takes us, in her new novel La Templanza, to the young Mexican republic, the colonial Havana and the Jerez of the second half of the nineteenth-century.

After being translated into more than thirty-five languages and sold over 5,000,000 copies worldwide with her previous novels, El tiempo entre costuras and Misión Olvido, Maria Dueñas returns with La Templanza, a novel that speaks of glories and defeats, of silver mines, family intrigues, vineyards, cellars and splendid cities whose grandeur faded in time.

With a first print-run of 500,000 copies in Spanish language, La Templanza will be the main title by Editorial Planeta this spring. Watch the booktrailer.
