Beschreibung

San Francisco, 1866. Molly Walsh is an Irish nun, seduced and abandoned by a Chilean aristocrat before her daughter, Emilia del Valle Walsh is born. Raised by her mother and stepfather in the heart of a humble Mexican neighborhood, Emilia grows into a bright and independent young woman, challenging social norms in the pursuit of writing, her first love and passion. At just sixteen Emilia is writing successful adventure novels under the pseudonym Brandon J. Price, and before long she secures a position as a columnist at the San Francisco Examiner, travelling for the first time to New York City, where a new love - passionate but short-lived - changes everything. She returns to San Francisco heartbroken, but with a newfound determination to survive in her own name. Santiago, 1891. Emilia finds herself in a nation on the brink of an abyss. While covering news of the civil war unfolding in Chile, she goes she goes in search of another story - of the del Valle family whose legacy is her birth right, and what became of the father who abandoned them. Enduring violence on the battlefield, in hospital and in prison, Emilia's own journey becomes one of loves lost and found, leading her into the heart of the homeland she never knew. Another masterclass in historical storytelling from Isabel Allende, My Name is Emilia del Valle is a powerful tale of love and war, discovery and redemption, told by a valiant young woman who confronts monumental challenges, survives, and reinvents herself along the way.
