When Malinalli met Cortez she assumed that he was her god Quetzalcoatl returned to free her people. The two fell passionately in love, but this love was soon destroyed by Cortez's thirst for conquest, power, and riches. Though some have considered her a traitor to her people, this book pictures her more as a mediator between two cultures during the fall of the Aztec Empire and the birth of the mestiza culture.

New Age tracts, precolumbian poetry, Puccini arias, and tedious plots never achieve narrative coherence in spite of Peden's adequate translation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. $u http://www.loc.gov/hlas
