The Seventh Veil of Salome
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
'Salome was pierced by the sword of love that day and gave her heart to a beggar preacher.'
The mythical Salome weaves through dual timelines of seduction, jealousy, and the ruthlessness of spurned lovers. In the 1950s, an actress in the titular role wades through the drama of Hollywood. In biblical times, Salome maneuvers through court intrigue. It all culminates in a gripping and explosive third act.
'She’d told him she was going to be Salome, with a gauzy dress that went from a deep orange to pale yellow and bells around her ankles. Salome, carrying the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter.'
