Dear Loveable (Latina) Lesbians,

Once upon a time, back in colonial South America, there was an influential mining city called Potosí that sourced a significant portion of the world's silver. Given the degree of exploitation of the native people that kept the mine in business, the majority of the people were impoverished and crime was abundant.

Enter Ana Lezama de Urinza and Eustaquia de Souza, the Valiant Ladies of Potosí. Eustaquia was a nobleman's daughter and Ana was a street urchin eventually adopted by the family. Together, the two lovers acted as vigilantes, fighting crime and protecting the weak of Potosí.

The best part of this? Those two were real people, and this book is based on their true story. Part murder mystery, part love story, this novel is a delight to follow.
