Overview

Una inolvidable historia de amor y de guerra protagonizada por una mujer que, enfrentada a los mayores desafíos, sobrevive y se reinventa.

San Francisco, 1866: una monja irlandesa, embarazada y abandonada por un aristócrata chileno tras una apasionada relación, da a luz a una niña a la que llama Emilia del Valle. Criada por su cariñoso padrastro, Emilia se convertirá en una joven brillante de gran personalidad, autónoma e independiente, que desafiará las normas sociales de su tiempo para profesar su verdadera pasión y vocación: la escritura.

Con tan solo diecisiete años, publicará novelas de aventuras bajo un pseudónimo masculino. Pero, enseguida, su mundo ficticio se le quedará pequeño y decidirá optar al puesto de periodista que se le ofrece en el periódico local para vivir de cerca la realidad.

Tiempo después, se le presentará la oportunidad de viajar como corresponsal a la ferviente guerra civil en Chile y no dudará en tomarla. Junto al avezado periodista Eric Whelan, Emilia se encontrará una nación en quiebra, al borde del abismo. Mientras cubre el conflicto bélico entre el presidente Balmaceda y el congreso rebelde, aprovechará la estancia en el país para explorar sus vínculos con la familia Del Valle y poder, al fin, conocer a su padre.

Sus reportajes la situarán en el centro de la guerra, soportando situaciones de terrible violencia en el campo de batalla, en el hospital de sangre y en la cárcel, donde varias veces se debatirá entre la vida y la muerte. Al tiempo, vivirá -y sufrirá- el amor y conocerá también, entre bosques, lagos y volcanes, una tierra donde no llega el horror de la guerra y donde, tal vez, acabe descubriendo no solo su destino sino su propia identidad.

Una cautivadora e inolvidable historia de amor y de guerra, de descubrimiento y redención, protagonizada por una mujer que, enfrentada a los mayores desafíos, sobrevive y se reinventa. Emilia del Valle es desde ya un personaje inolvidable del universo más fértil de Isabel Allende, la saga Del Valle, que empezó con su obra maestra La casa de los espíritus y continuó con Hija de la fortuna y Retrato en sepia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this spellbinding historical novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea and The House of the Spirits, a young writer journeys to South America to uncover the truth about her father—and herself.

In San Francisco in 1866, an Irish nun, abandoned following a torrid relationship with a Chilean aristocrat, gives birth to a daughter named Emilia del Valle. Raised by a loving stepfather, Emilia grows into an independent thinker and a self-sufficient young woman.
 
To pursue her passion for writing, she is willing to defy societal norms. At the age of seventeen, she begins to publish pulp fiction using a man’s pen name. When these fictional worlds can no longer satisfy her sense of adventure, she turns to journalism, convincing an editor at The Daily Examiner to hire her. There she is paired with another talented reporter, Eric Whelan.

As she proves herself, her restlessness returns, until an opportunity arises to cover a brewing civil war in Chile. She seizes it, as does Eric, and while there, she meets her estranged father and delves into the violent confrontation in the country where her roots lie. As she and Eric discover love, the war escalates and Emilia finds herself in extreme danger, fearing for her life and questioning her identity and her destiny.

A riveting tale of self-discovery and love from one of the most masterful storytellers of our time, My Name Is Emilia del Valle introduces a character who will never let hold of your heart.
