Set in the aftershock of Mexican war of Independence, The Hacienda is about Beatriz who marries Rodolfo just to have a refuge.
Doña Beatriz is now the owner of The Hacienda San Isidro. Her husband, Doñ Rodolfo Solorzano has left her in Apan to look after Hacienda just as she wanted.
Doña Beatriz was ready for everything and everyone just not the creeping darkness, slamming doors and whispering walls of the Hacienda. No one believes her. They all think she's gone mad. All but Padre Andres who agrees to help Solorzaño's wife.
Slowly but perpetually, things start getting out of hand. The visions of lurking evils and conceits of bodies concealed in the walls get stronger and stronger.
Ultimately Padre Andres has no choice but to reveal who he really is and why has he agreed to help Doña Beatriz.
Good reads choice award winner, this book is a historical fiction success.
Blend together Rebecca and Mexican Gothic, add a paranoid sister, and serve with a fire at hacienda and viola, you get The Hacienda.
