Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of letters written by a young Peruvian woman named Zilia to her beloved Aza. In the midst of the Spanish conquest, Zilia finds herself captured and held prisoner by the invaders. Forced into hiding, Zilia begins to record the events of her life and her abiding love for Aza in the form of knotted strings, known as "quipos", a method of communication used by the Inca people. With the help of a trusted messenger, Zilia's quipos reach Aza, and the two find solace in their shared memories and unwavering devotion. The letters reveal Zilia's strength and resilience as she grapples with the displacement and trauma of her people while also capturing the depth and longing of her affection for Aza.
