Five people, on separate
journeys for seemingly unconnected reasons, happen to
be crossing the bridge at San Luis Rey at noon on the
fateful day of July 20th 1714. The bridge breaks and
all five fall to their deaths in the deep gorge below.
Was it chance or the hand of God that brought these
five together at that fatal time in that place? Or were
they in some way responsible, themselves, for what happened?
Set in early 18th century Peru at the
height of the Spanish Inquisition, this timeless story
of delicately interwoven lives traverses worlds as diverse
as the theatres, convents, brothels and docks of Lima,
Peru to the sea-faring explorations, scientific institutions
and courts of Madrid, Spain. What unfolds is that one
woman’s life touched all of them. Yet she survived.
