Synopsis

An elaborately woven novel of intrigue about one of America's most curious and enduring legends -- the enigma of the Lady in Blue

In Los Angeles, Jennifer Narody has been having a series of disturbing dreams involving eerie images of a lady dressed in blue. What she doesn't know is that this same spirit appeared to leaders of the Jumano Native American tribe in New Mexico 362 years earlier, and was linked to a Spanish nun capable of powers of "bilocation," or the ability to be in two places simultaneously. Meanwhile, young journalist Carlos Albert is driven by a blinding snowstorm to the little Spanish town of Ágreda, where he stumbles upon a nearly forgotten seventeenth-century convent founded by this same legendary woman. Intrigued by her rumored powers, he delves into finding out more. These threads, linked by an apparent suicide, eventually lead Carlos to Cardinal Baldi, to an American spy, and ultimately to Los Angeles, where Jennifer Narody unwittingly holds the key to the mystery that the Catholic Church, the U.S. Defense Department, and the journalist are each determined to decipher -- the Lady in Blue.

Goodreads review by C. (Comment, never msg). on September 24, 2019

I was interested in “The Lady In Blue” but disagreed with Javier Sierra’s treatment and how awkwardly he tried to shape disparate details into a novel. I give two stars because I respect his inspiration: imparting history that is little-known. I love that he visited key people and places. It is help......more

Goodreads review by Shawn on December 06, 2014

This was not a typical read for me. It reads somewhat like a Dan Brown thriller where modern settings and controversies are used to explore old religious issues. I picked it up because of the references to the Jumano Indians ( modern Wichita Nation) and the Spanish incursions in New Mexico during th......more

La Dama Azul, de Javier Sierra 2005 Historical Fiction Español, que siendo del subgénero "religioso" mezcla delicadamente temas científicos demasiado a la ligera. La historia se inicia de una manera fenomenal, jajaja es que tenía que decirlo! Me enganchó desde las primeras páginas, desarrollándose gra......more

Goodreads review by Delia on March 25, 2010

The jacket of this book made it sound like something I would love to read. I must admit that I was disappointed. Lady in Blue follows four different stories, one of which happens hundreds of years earlier. There is a group of Indians in the New Mexico territory that are visited by a lady who radiates......more

Goodreads review by Laura on April 22, 2012

(I read it in Spanish). I really liked it - although this is the first novel from Sierra I read - I've read some essays but no novel. I am currently reading The Lost Angel (I guess that's the English title), and it's amazing too, but now that I am almost finished with this second book, I believe he......more


Quotes

"The Lady in Blue is the haunting and evocative tale of the triumph of modern spirit and science over a 400-year-old conspiracy. Javier Sierra's groundbreaking historical research opens our eyes to a world we thought we knew, and revisits, in a surprising way, the devastating clash between Catholic Europe and the far more ancient world of the American Southwest." -- Katherine Neville, bestselling author of The Eight and The Magic Circle

"This fantastic story imparts an alternative, expanded view that we do not usually find in our academic, politically motivated history books. This is what Javier Sierra brings to us in his most recent novel, The Lady in Blue. Read this book before it's made into a screenplay. You will be happy you did." -- Skip Atwater, president and executive director of the Monroe Institute, an organization dedicated to working with audio sound patterns in the exploration of human consciousness

"Javier Sierra has done it again! His last book, The Secret Supper, left readers wanting more and Javier has given them just what they have been waiting for with The Lady in Blue! Each chapter keeps you completely captivated and at times makes you look over your shoulder looking for the spirit of the Spanish nun. I'm completely in love with this book and it's a must read!" -- MaryRose Occhino, author of Sign of the Dove and radio show host of "Angels on Call," on Sirius Stars 102
