New book at Letras Latinas! ✨📚

We are pleased to announce that Isabel Allende's latest title, Mi nombre es Emilia del Valle (published in May 2025), is now available in our library.

This book recounts the experiences of Emilia, a young writer and journalist from the late 19th century who travels to Chile to cover a civil war. Through her story, Allende invites us to explore the themes of identity, roots and freedom, in a context where women had very few opportunities and had to challenge norms in order to develop.

With her characteristic style, Isabel Allende manages to create unique and complex characters that captivate the reader. Even when she describes everyday life, she makes you want to keep reading and discover more. This book is entertaining, profound and offers a different perspective on historical events that many will remember from their school lessons, but narrated from a fresh and engaging perspective.

👉 And if this book is not for you, that's okay! As the saying goes, ‘there's no accounting for taste.’ Our library has more than 5,000 books in Spanish: novels, poetry, history, essays, children's literature, and much more. You're sure to find something you'll love.
