Average Linda novela histórica romántica pero no es la mejor de la autora.Un poco larga y repetitiva. No fue mi favorita.. My opinion on Maria Duenas book "La Templanza" Alma R. Soto It is not as good as her first two novels. It is boring, I have been reading "La Templanza" for about two weeks and I stopped. I have not finished reading this novel. I believe she can do much much better. I will wait for her next novel and see what happens. The book was expensive, I was expecting for her next novel but it did not meet my expectations. Can I sell it back to you?. M. V. Davila said A book to read and enjoy. Very interesting, good picture of the time it occurs and of the characters in itVery easy reading because you want to continuereading to -see the result at the end I loved it
