Broken Chains - Carmen Martínez Sánchez
When Elisabeth of Austria (Sisi) visits Seville in May 1861, an unexpected encounter with Hilda del Carmen, a young saleswoman in a fan shop, sets two extraordinary lives on parallel paths.
One belongs to the popular streets of Seville; the other to the imperial court of the Habsburgs. Their worlds could not be more different, yet both women share the same longing: to determine their own destinies in a society designed to restrict them.
Blending historical reality with intimate storytelling, Broken Chains follows two women confronting the expectations, humiliations and limitations imposed upon them by the nineteenth century. Their journeys reveal the transformative power of self-worth, resilience and female solidarity.
A compelling historical novel about freedom, sisterhood and the courage to challenge the rules of a patriarchal society.
A story of two women who refuse to let their circumstances define their lives.
