La Malinche

[PIKI]

I just picked up a new book "Mexican Spanish", in the intro when giving a brief history of how Mexican Spanish came about, La Malinche came up, very briefly but the story was interesting to me, I guess she was a Mayan girl who translated for Cortez and was considered a traider by most but not so much now. Does anyone have insite on this, or does anyone know of a good book that would tell the story.
