Set in Lima, Peru during the colonial era, the book opens during a celebration held in honor of the Viceroy, Don Andres de Ribeira. The festivities include street performers and dancing by local women, in attendance are Don Pedro de Hinojoso and the Count of Panatela, men who hold high positions within the Viceroyâs court. They, along with the Viceroy himself, are subjects of ridicule and satire throughout the book. Among the performers is La Perichole, a beautiful young singer of humble origin. The Viceroy is immediately captivated by her beauty and charm.
