Her book When I Was Puerto Rican was declared a classic even before it hit galley stage. Now Esmeralda Santiago is ready to conquer other worlds...With the popularity of the telenovela Zorro and its ranking among Hispanic viewers on the television network Telemundo, it's no wonder at all why Santiago's next literary move is set in the century next to last. The backdrop of Conquistadora is none other than 1800s Puerto Rico with a Scarlett O'Hara-like heroine at its crux. Barely one year into her own self-managed gig since leaving the Aaron Priest Literary Agency in the Summer of 2006 in a daring jump-ship, Molly Friedrich is already striking gold with Ms. Santiago's latest literary opus. Conquistadora will be published by Knopf.
