EDHASA’S HISTORICAL FICTION AWARD 2020 Salic law’s abolition in articulo mortis and accession to the throne of Elizabeth II unleash the conflictive 19th Century in Spain, time of fratricidal wars, conspiracies and mysteries. In 1882, Elizabeth II lived her Parisian exile in the Palace of Castile, being around noble people and luxury, but far from power. To that court will arrive an attractive gentleman, Julio Uceda, sent by Sagasta with very risky documents for the queen; and also will arrive Teresa, a young girl raised and educated in Rhe Girls of Leganés, An orphans school in Madrid, whose life and thoughts are so different to that ones behind rich people. Among Julio and Teresa will grow a love story that will have to survive to political conspiracies and the suffocating and corrupt atmosphere of a decaying monarchy. Nothing is what it seems to be, but, at the same time, everything is as hypocritical and degraded as it is shown. Herminia Luque related us a palatial intrigue; an approximation to the historical figure of Isabel II, as well as a magnificent, precise and ironic recreation of the 19th Century. And she recounts us in an unusual and clever way, thanks to femenine characters perfectly fits and an original and intelligent narrative structure, which includes a critical look at the highly contrasting contexts of society at the time.

Coronado. The mythical city of Cibola and the search for a new El Dorado led Francisco Vázquez de Coronado to the south of what today are the United States of America. For the first time European eyes saw those lands: vast deserts, red canyons, large plains full of bison, dangerous indigenous tribes... They were years of conquest and evangelization, years plagued by clashes and diseases, but also of glories and objectives achieved. It is the open, non-conformist and astounded Franciscan, Friar Tomás de Urquiza, who tells us this story. So, years after the expedition, in 1564, Friar Tomás reminisces on the expedition in which, twenty years earlier, he accompanied Coronado. As if he were an ancient chronicler of the Indies, Ignacio del Valle offers us a vibrant and meticulous narrative, in which the facts reach the reader like the close-ups of a film. And together with Friar Tomás, thanks to his ready-witted vision, full of pros and cons, we immerse ourselves in the New World of the mid-sixteenth century.
