The Seventh Veil of Salome is a tragic story of both Vera & Salome. It is probably Silvia Moreno-Garcia's weakest work in my opinion but a good novel nonetheless. Taking place in the atmospheric Los Angeles & hollywood. A likeable & complex female character facing both misogyny & also racism. We see her story alongside that of Salome, a Jewish princess from the new testament- a role that Vera is playing. Both compelling stories but the pacing in the middle was a real drag for me. A good novel from Moreno-Garcia but not her best.
