My Name Is Emilia del Valle by Isabel Allende
In My Name Is Emilia del Valle, Isabel Allende introduces us to a heroine whose journey mirrors the path of the Crone. Emilia, born at the crossroads of cultures and raised amid secrets of lineage, becomes a writer who refuses to be silenced. First hiding behind a man’s name, she ultimately claims her own voice as a journalist, courageously stepping into war, love, and self-discovery.
For the Crone, Emilia’s story is rich with meaning. She teaches us about resilience in the face of hardship, the healing power of reclaiming our roots, and the freedom found in love without losing selfhood. Most of all, Emilia embodies the Crone’s sacred role as storyteller — one who shapes memory into wisdom and ensures that women’s voices are not forgotten.
A luminous novel of identity, courage, and legacy, My Name Is Emilia del Valle invites us to reflect on our own journeys of authorship, belonging, and the truths we are called to carry forward.
