A sumptuous Gothic horror for fans of Rebecca and Mexican Gothic.
Hacienda San Isidro was meant to be Beatriz’s haven, her salvation from an oppressive life with her uncle and his vicious wife. When Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposed, Beatriz dreamed only of the security his estate in the countryside would provide, ignoring the rumors surrounding his first wife’s demise and his sinister allegiances. She will have her own home again, no matter the price.
But the house has ideas of its own. Visions and voices claw at Beatriz, stealing her sleep, and the weight of invisible eyes follows her every move. Deep in her bones, Beatriz knows—something is wrong with San Isidro.
Desperate for help, she turns to the young priest, Padre Andrés. Handsome and sympathetic, he seems like Beatriz’s only hope. But as their passions rise and the walls close in around Beatriz, the weight of secrets everyone is carrying may lead them all to their doom.
The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas is expected out October 26, 2023 from Solaris.
Why am I waiting on this book? I like a good gothic tale. I read Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and enjoyed it. The blurb suggests that if you liked that book, you will enjoy this one. I want to know what will happen to Beatriz and how much is supernatural and how much is from the secrets being kept from her. It sounds like the perfect read for this time of year.
