“Los dos enamorados siguieron conversando hasta las diez de la noche, sin darse cuenta de que dos ojos verdosos y malignos, los de doña Micaela, los contemplaban con ira”. Fuerzas poderosas se opusieron al amor entre Gustavo Moreno y Blanco Olmedo: un sacerdote, un juez corrupto y una devota religiosa.” El estudio de la vida real y los ejemplos, harto dolorosos, que de injusticias he visto cometidos, siendo víctimas, algunas veces, mi familia y yo, son los que me indujeron a escribir este libro”, explicaba Lucila Gamero de Medina, la autora que, hace exactamente 120 años, en la ciudad de Danlí, concluyó en Danlí la que muchos consideran la primera novela en la historia de Honduras.
Blanca Olmedo is perhaps the best known novel of the noted Honduran novelist Lucila Gamero. A romance novel, published at a time when the trend for romantic literature had fallen out of fashion in Central America, it was completed in 1903 and published in 1908. It is considered to be one of the most important novels in Honduran literature in the early twentieth century. It is unusual given that it was written by a female writer who was critical of the corrupt establishment in Honduras
