My Name Is Emilia del Valle
by Isabel Allende
Thanks to Ballentine and Netgalley for this advanced copy!
Isabel Allende is a great for a reason: she writes compelling characters in beautiful stories, highlighting women who travel the lengths of the world to know themselves and be independent and fierce in their choices and convictions. Emilia del Valle is not the exception. Born in California, she lives her life, going to Chile to cover the Civil War and prove herself as a journalist. She takes lovers, she meets family she didn't know existed, and she continues to live her fullest life possible. I love Allende's writing and I love her female characters. They are so human and wonderful and a joy to follow.
