Bomboncita (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798280397477)

"The early maps named her La Infiel - the Unfaithful; the island that would not bend her neck to crown or cross."

Bomboncita is a gorgeously imagined novelette of resistance and identity against the backdrop of a life ruled by politics and technology: inspired by the lush lyricism of Luis Palés Matos and the haunting moral inquiries of classic Asimov.

Luisa "Bomboncita" Moraga is heir to the Presidency of Isla de la Reina Madre, a fiercely sovereign Caribbean nation that survived a global climate collapse to become the world's sole producer of cacao. Now an unexpected superpower, the island is ruled by a benevolent, authoritarian matriarchy. Smart, stubborn, and beloved, Luisa walks the fine line between duty and defiance.

When Luisa discovers a project in the form of an experimental robot-soft-spoken, curious, and startlingly alive-what begins as fascination evolves into something deeper.
