Lovers' Paradise The Tragedy of Dona Paula (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798283895161)

In 18th-century Goa, where the tides of empire clash with the whispers of forbidden love, a Portuguese noblewoman dares to defy her fate.

Dona Paula Amaral Antónia de Souto Maior is the daughter of a powerful governor, revered for her beauty and grace. But beneath her silken gowns and porcelain smile lies a heart yearning for freedom-and for Diego Fernandes, a humble fisherman with salt in his hair and poetry in his soul.

Bound by a love that defies the cruel boundaries of class and colonial rule, Paula and Diego dream of escape. Yet, in a world governed by rigid honor and ruthless power, their romance becomes a dangerous rebellion. When betrayal strikes from within and justice turns to punishment, Paula makes a choice that will echo through the ages.

Based on the haunting true legend of the woman behind Goa's iconic "Lovers' Paradise," Lovers' Paradise is a sweeping tale of passion, sacrifice, and the eternal power of love.

Some stories end in tragedy. This one gave birth to a legend.
