If you love women-focused narratives, classic literature, and European history, this book is for you!

ARC review- i thought this was a well written historical fiction! i remember reading “don quixote” in college so the blurb of this book immediately intrigued me. i really enjoyed the multiple points of view from all the women behind miguel. the ending was the only part that felt a bit abrupt but other than that i really enjoyed!!

How lucky I am to have received an advance readers copy of A Daughter’s Place for it was such an incredible novel! A Daughters Place is a five act novel (mirroring Cervantes’ plays) about the women in Miguel de Cervantes’ life: his daughter, his niece, and his wife. In a stunning and immersive experience, Batíz masterfully weaves together history and fiction to show the unknown, incredibly rich stories of these women. Combining luminous creativity and dedicated research and expertise, Batíz has written a modern classic. If you are a fan of writing, reading, art, history, and incredible women finally having their stories told, A Daughter’s Place is the book for you! A simultaneous homage and criticism on Cervantes, A Daughter’s Place is not a book to miss.

I normally love historical fiction, but I just couldn't get into this one- maybe that's because I haven't read Cervantes. Still, I appreciate all the research and work that went into writing A Daughter's Place.

As a lifetime reader of Historic Fiction, a Daughter’s Place had me hooked from the first page to the last. For all of you who have grown weary of WWII novels, give this one a try. You will not be sorry.

This is a wonderful book! Historical fiction at its finest. This story follows Isabel, the illegitimate daughter of Miguel de Cervantes. I've spent a lot of time in Spain to especially appreciated Madrid as the backdrop. This book is part day-to-day life of Cervantes' sisters, niece, and daughter, and part a reflection of the limitations placed on women during this time.It is also a reflection of familiar relationships and the ebb and flow of feelings and actions.
At times I was sad by the storyline, and other times frustrated with some of the characters and their actions.
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for access to this eARC.
