Publisher's summary
FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar la nueva novela de la laureada escritora mexicana Laura Esquivel, Malinche, narrada por la laureada estrella mexicana Lucia Méndez.
Cuando Malinalli conoce a Cortés asume que se trata del propio Dios Quetzalcóatl que regresa a liberar a su pueblo. Los dos se enamoran apasionadamente, pero este amor pronto es destruido por la desmedida sed de conquista, poder y riqueza de Cortés.
A lo largo de la historia de México Malinalli/Malinche ha sido conocida por su traición al pueblo indio. Pero recientes investigaciones históricas han mostrado que Malinalli fue la mediadora entre dos culturas, la hispánica y la americana nativa; y entre dos lenguas, el español y el náhuatl.
Lo que Esquivel ha hecho aquí es desafiar la mitología tradicional mediante un retrato muy temperamental del Adán y la Eva de la cultura mestiza, Cortés y Malinalli, con la caída del imperio azteca como telón de fondo. Contada con el lirismo de la tradición cantarina y pictórica del náhuatl, Laura Esquivel nos brinda un mito fundacional de la cultura híbrida del Nuevo Mundo y una extraordinaria historia de amor.
Este audiolibro es en Espanol.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Good story but the narrator is not that good.
I really dislike the exaggerated indigenous accent the narrator, Lucia Mendez uses as La Malinche.

Poor performance by narrator
Unfortunately, Lucia Mendez seems to miss the syntax in many occasions breaking sentences at the wrong place. The story is fiction, although based on real events and characters. It is a controversial issue (Malinche’s role during the conquest) but Laura Esquivel writes an entertaining plot.

Malinche as a Legend
If you could sum up Malinche in three words, what would they be?
Legendary, dramatic, and compelling
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Grandmother and her influence on the young Malinche
What about Lucia Mendez’s performance did you like?
Lucia Mendez speaks quite distinctly so it is easy to understand her against the background music.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The opening descriptions with Malinche and the grandmother
Any additional comments?
I hesitated to purchase the audio version because of other reviewers' criticisms about the background music, but I found the music to be an interesting feature of the audio version. Esquivel appears to like to try new technologies and forms for the presentation of her novels. The drama in this one ties the music into the legendary nature of the story of Malinalli.

Libro maravilloso, pésima producción de FONOLIBRO
FONOLIBRO, se equivocaron, NO ERA RADIONOVELA. Musicalizacion constante bloquea al usuario. Representación estereotipada. For English readers: give this book a chance, narrated by Maria Conchita Alonso, UNABRIDGE production.

Mala interpretación de la lectora
Racista el modo en que le lectora interpreta a los personajes Nativo Americanos. Una lástima que se siga preservando los estereotipos de los habitantes originales.

Bella historia
Es un poema en prosa.
Para mi gusto, la música sobra .
Lucia Méndez narra bastante bien, aunque siento que sobreactúa en muchos momentos..
En general me gustó, porque ya había conocido el personaje de Malinche, en la novela “La otra
Isabel “ de Laura Martínez -Belli
