The hacienda isabel canas6/11/2023 The sanctuary and freedom that Beatriz thinks she has found in Hacienda San Isidro is all a facade for a dark and violent past that has filled the home.Ĭañas wisely chooses to unpack this story through dual narration from Beatriz and a priest that befriends her, Andres. THE HACIENDA, Isabel Cañas’ debut novel, is the story of one woman trapped in the house of her nightmares. Far from a refuge, San Isidro may be Beatriz’s doom. Beatriz only knows two things for certain: Something is wrong with the hacienda. The weight of invisible eyes follows her every move. When Rodolfo returns to work in the capital, visions and voices invade Beatriz’s sleep. But Hacienda San Isidro is not the sanctuary she imagined. When handsome Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposes, Beatriz ignores the rumors surrounding his first wife’s sudden demise, choosing instead to seize the security his estate in the countryside provides. In the overthrow of the Mexican government, Beatriz’s father is executed and her home destroyed.
