The Hacienda A Memoir

Lisa St. Aubin de Teran was a romantic seventeen-year-old when she married a South American aristocrat twenty years her senior. Seduced by tales of his ancestral home, she left England for his family's plantation deep in the Venezuelan Andes-where, almost at once, the fantasy disintegrated. Teran found herself trapped in a world she knew nothing about, married to a man who grew increasingly unstable, & surrounded by peasants & plantation workers who would come to rely on her for help.
