Product Details

About the Book

My Name Is Emilia del Valle is Isabel Allende's sweeping historical novel of self-discovery, returning to the beloved del Valle family first introduced in her classic The House of the Spirits. The story opens in San Francisco in 1873, introducing Emilia at age seven, the illegitimate daughter of Molly Walsh, who as a novice nun was seduced and abandoned by wealthy Chilean aristocrat Gonzalo Andrés del Valle. Molly goes on to a happy marriage, and Emilia grows up with a loving stepfather, beginning at seventeen to write and publish sensational dime novels under the pseudonym Brandon J. Price

By twenty-three, Emilia is a journalist with a column in The Daily Examiner, though still hiding her gender behind her pen name — until she is commissioned to travel to Chile and cover its brewing civil war from a human angle, accompanied by her colleague and friend Eric Whelan. Her mother, still bitter over Gonzalo's abandonment, entrusts her with a rancorous letter to deliver to him, and in Chile Emilia finally meets her father and the extended del Valle family for the first time. As the war escalates, Emilia witnesses the horrors of battle, discovers she and Eric are falling in love, and is ultimately arrested — a rebel to the last, unwilling to be defined by the danger closing in around her
