lcrou002 's review for:
The Seventh Veil of Salome
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Thank you to NetGalley and Del Rey for providing me an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
This multi-timeline historical novel tells the story of three women struggling for success. Salome, of biblical fame, is trying to survive the manipulative men around her. Her uncle murdered her father and married her mother to become tetrarch, her cousin believes that if Salome allied with him they'd be unstoppable, and she believes herself in love with a prophet doomed by her mother and uncle.
And more than a thousand years later, another Salome, fledgling movie star Vera Larios, is struggling to make a career for herself in the glamorous days of old Hollywood. But racism, sexism, and other people's jealousy makes it very difficult.
The lyrical prose and multiple points of view kept this book very engaging. It was easy to become invested in these strong, yet simultaneously tragic, women.
