Perfect for fans of Julia Alvarez and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, this exhilarating novel transports you to the lush tropical landscape of 1920s Ecuador, blending family drama, dangerous mystery, and the real-life history of the coastal town known as the “birthplace of cacao.”



As a child in Spain, Puri always knew her passion for chocolate was inherited from her father. But it’s not until his death that she learns of something else she’s inherited—a cocoa estate in Vinces, Ecuador, a town nicknamed “París Chiquito.” Eager to claim her birthright and filled with hope for a new life after the devastation of World War I, she and her husband Cristóbal set out across the Atlantic Ocean. But it soon becomes clear someone is angered by Puri’s claim to the estate…
When a mercenary sent to murder her aboard the ship accidentally kills Cristóbal instead, Puri dons her husband’s clothes and assumes his identity, hoping to stay safe while she searches for the truth of her father’s legacy in Ecuador. Though freed from the rules that women are expected to follow, Puri confronts other challenges at the estate—newfound siblings, hidden affairs, and her father’s dark secrets. Then there are the dangers awakened by her attraction to an enigmatic man as she tries to learn the identity of an enemy who is still at large, threatening the future she is determined to claim…



“A lush Ecuadoran cacao plantation is the setting for this imaginative historical drama filled with sibling rivalry and betrayals. Threaded throughout this dramatic family saga are descriptions of cocoa-making that will leave your mouth watering for chocolate.”
The Washington Post

This book in the beginning was a little to get into. But as many books you keep reading hoping it gets better, and this one is that!! By the time I was halfway I couldn’t put the book down. A very clean book with a great way to make you live as if you were in the 1920’s, full of mystery, suspense and get this there are a few love stories in this book. It’s a book where you read different points of view on characters and their story. It goes back in time and present time in their time frame. I couldn’t foresee or predict any of the things that were happening in the book. I loved the twists and turns. The flow of the book was very easy to read and understand. I definitely recommend this book. No intimate scenes that were descriptive, there is a mention of pro$titues but nothing goes into a descriptive narrative. Also there is a mention of a ‘curandera’ but no magic or spells whatsoever. And there is a part where it is mentioned that one of the characters is gay but there’s nothing descriptive of it either.
