Synopsis
Inspired by the true story of a Spanish princess, an outspoken firebrand at the Bourbon court during the troubled final years of her family's reign. Eulalia accepts a role as emissary in the New World. In the company of Tomas Aragon, the son of her one-time wet nurse, and a small-town bookseller with a thirst for adventure, she travels first to a Cuba bubbling with revolution then on to the 1893 Chicago World Fair. Publicly, she is there as a representative of the Bourbon dynasty, privately, she is in America to find a publisher for her autobiography.

Review
Praise for Chantel Acevedo's The Distant Marvels
"Acevedo here makes a significant contribution to contemporary literature...This is a major, uniquely powerful, and startlingly beautiful novel that should bring Acevedo's name to the top echelon of this generation's writers."
--Booklist (Starred Review)
"Rich and engrossing...quite aside from the human perceptivity and warmth that distinguish The Distant Marvels, is a writing style of an elegance rarely encountered in contemporary fiction."
--Philadelphia Inquirer
"The Distant Marvels is a wonderful story about the stories we tell each other and what they reveal about ourselves."
--The San Francisco Chronicle
"Acevedo takes a great story to another level with her remarkable storytelling."
--Cedar Rapids Gazette
"Irresistible moments of rebellion and bravery define this tale."
--Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"As Hurricane Flora blows past Fidel Castro's new Cuba, Acevedo's heartbreaking and humane novel comes to a memorable conclusion."
--Publishers Weekly
