My Name Is Emilia del Valle by Isabel Allende

3.0

Appreciation for historical fiction, Emilia's courage in pursuing journalism when there were very few women, even onto the battlefield in Chile's civil war in the 1890s. I enjoyed the storytelling at the start - Emelia's childhood, her mother and stepfather, Pancho Claro - and then less so as the book went on. It was slow reading and felt at arms-length.
