Madrid, 1646. A child is found dead in his crib. His body, covered in strange bruises, soon becomes irrefutable evidence for those seeking someone to blame. The accusation falls on María González, a young maid known for her love spells and her closeness to an unstable couple. What begins as a domestic drama ends before the judges of the Holy Inquisition, shrouded in superstition, rumors, and confessions that are only uttered in the torture chambers. Based on a real trial documented by the Inquisition, En nombre del Santo Oficio (In the Name of the Holy Office) reconstructs with a successful setting and narrative sobriety the case of a woman caught between the ignorance of her time and the passions of those around her. The novel not only portrays the inquisitorial climate of 17th-century Spain, but also raises questions that we still have not been able to answer: Who decides what is true? Is justice stronger than fear? Marisa has a plan: coffee with her horoscope, a marriage proposal, and a Polaroid photo for posterity.
