My Name Is Emilia del Valle by Isabel Allende
4.5
I've seen many of the author's books floating around but this is the first I've picked up.
This book has a little bit of everything: family, adventure, trauma, romance, and self-discovery. It's a beautiful story that, at its heart, should inspire some self-reflection and unapologetic self-acceptance, in the spirit of our protagonist. Emilia takes each moment of her life in stride and I can only aspire to do the same. Though the conclusion felt a little unbelievable... I still enjoyed it for what it was and found it to be satisfying.
I look forward to reading more of this author's work and would highly recommend this book to just about anyone. In our current political climate, I think many would find Emilia's perseverance inspiring.
