The new historical novel from literary legend Isabel Allende

Emilia del Valle was always destined for great things.

Abandoned at birth by her Chilean aristocrat father, Emilia comes of age in nineteenth-century San Francisco as an independent and fiercely ambitious young woman, decades ahead of her time. She will do whatever it takes to pursue her life's passion for writing, even if it means publishing under a man's name.

When Emilia lands a position as a journalist for the Daily Examiner, her unwavering sense of adventure – and new-found determination to survive in her own name – leads her to seize the chance to cover a brewing civil war in Chile alongside another talented reporter.

But the assignment offers Emilia more than just an opportunity to prove herself as a writer. Before long she embarks on a treacherous, life-changing journey in a homeland she never knew, to uncover the truth about her father – and herself.

A 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.

Isabel Allende is a literary treasure. Her latest novel, My Name is Emilia del Valle, is a beautifully written portrait of a woman coming of age and finding her voice in the midst of the Chilean civil war. In this tale of love, war, betrayal and redemption, Ms. Allende transports the reader whole-heartedly to the nineteenth century, a time when women's choices were limited and their ambitions thwarted -- Kristin Hannah
A captivating novel of love and war from one of our most revered storytellers -- Kate Morton, author of HOMECOMING
