Fernando J. Munez’s 2019 Spanish novel La cocinera de Castamar (The Cook of Castamar) tells the story of an 18th-century romance between a talented cook and a widowed duke. The drama deals effectively with racism, sexual harassment and coercion, sexism, injustice and homophobia — issues that still plague society today. The story, in Upstairs, Downstairs style, includes members of the Spanish nobility and their servants.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
