Overview

Premio de novela histórica Grijalbo - Claustro de Sor Juana

María Teresa Landa ocupó en dos ocasiones las portadas de los principales periódicos del país: por ser reina de belleza y por ser una asesina.


María Teresa Landa fue la ganadora en 1928 del concurso de belleza Señorita México, que la convirtió en la primera Miss México de la historia. Poco después contrajo nupcias con Moisés Vidal, un general de la Revolución venido a menos, que le ocultó que ya estaba casado con otra mujer, también llamada Teresa, con quien además tenía dos hijas. La mañana del 25 de agosto de 1929, María Teresa comenzó su día como cualquier domingo, serena y desenfadada, hasta que se encontró con este titular en Excélsior: «Acusan de bigamia al esposo de Miss México». Su vida dio un vuelco. Presa de la tristeza, la ira y los celos, tomó el revólver de su marido y descargó seis balas sobre él. La reina de belleza era ahora una asesina. La prensa nacional hizo eco de lo ocurrido bajo titulares que se referían a ella como la Viuda Negra.
 
Ana Romero narra la historia de María Teresa con maestría y sensibilidad. No sólo hace eco de las notas de la época, sino que se mete en la piel del personaje para tratar de comprender su psiquis, sus anhelos y sus miedos, y nos ofrece un retrato fascinante de una mujer a quien la belleza llevó tanto a la gloria como a la ruina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the Grijalbo - Sister Juana Cloisters Historical Novel Award.


María Teresa Landa appeared twice on the front page of every major newspaper in the country: because she was a beauty queen and because she became a murderer.

María Teresa Landa won the 1928 beauty contest Miss Mexico, becoming the first Miss Mexico in history. Soon after, she married Moisés Vidal, a washed-up general from the Mexican Revolution, who concealed the fact that he was already married to another woman, also named Teresa, with whom he had two daughters. The morning of August 25, 1929, María Teresa started her day like any other Sunday, calm and carefree, until she read this Excélsior headline: “Miss Mexico’s husband accused of bigamy.” Her life was turned upside down. Consumed by sadness, rage, and jealousy, she took her husband’s revolver and shot him six times. The beauty queen was now a killer. The national press spread the news under headlines that referred to her as the Black Widow.
 
Ana Romero tells María Teresa’s story with mastery and sensibility. Romero not only echoes the feeling of the time, but gets under the character’s skin to try and understand her psyche, her yearnings, and fears, sharing a fascinating portrait of a woman who knew both glory and ruin because of her beauty.
