About this listen
¿Quién fue Micaela Villegas? ¿La actriz que brilló en el Coliseo de Comedias? ¿La amante que protagonizó junto al virrey Amat una de las historias de amor más polémicas del siglo XVIII en el Perú? ¿La belleza mestiza que sacudió los cimientos de la sociedad limeña de su época, desatando odios, halagos y envidias? ¿La piadosa que se arrodilló frente a un párroco para confesar sus pecados? ¿La díscola acusada de inmoral? ¿La madre que crio a su hijo con orgulloso amor? ¿O la contestataria que supo trocar un insulto en el nombre con el que se hizo famosa: la Perricholi? Estas y otras interrogantes atraviesan la trama de esta novela que recrea la desafiante vida de Micaela Villegas, enmarcada entre los últimos años del virreinato peruano y los albores de la Independencia.
Narrada con un estilo de frases breves, plásticas y envolventes que le imprimen velocidad y vigor a la prosa, esta apasionante novela de Alonso Cueto se vale de la investigación histórica y los mecanismos de la ficción para explorar, sin opacar su misterio, el indómito corazón de Micaela Villegas: la Perricholi. Reina de Lima.

La Perricholi comes alive
A beautiful story of a woman who succeeded in living an authentic life in the 18th century. Cueto tells the story with such rich detail that I can see her also. The narrator also added to the aura of the story. I loved it!

The almost mythological figure springs to life
This is the first work by Alonso Cueto that I have read. Wow! I hated that it ended. I so thoroughly fell in love with the woman he so carefully paints for us with his loving brush - the writers pen. Throughout the years she has been referenced and each time I wanted to know more. Thanks to this Cueto’s labors in researching and artfully rendering Micaela Villegas and her times. She is the heroine that captivates and charms. Surely some will frown at the age difference between the Virrey and La Perricholi but this is a time with different norms and mores thus requiring the suspension of sensitivities. What does stand the test of time is the story of the woman. She fills a life with struggles and to each of these challenges she grabs the bull by the horn and gives as good as she gets. She is mestizo, she is a woman, she’s an unconventional spirit when all of these traits were on the “con” side of the list and yet she rises triumphant. This is a story to raise your daughters on. Loved it!!
