«En el nombre de Salomé» is the historical novel by Julia Álvarez, published by Ediciones Alfaguara in paperback (406 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the life of Salomé Ureña, a 19th-century Dominican poet and educator who promoted female education in her country, and that of her daughter Camila, marked by exile; both voices weave a story about identity, family, and social justice.
The Spanish edition, published in 2002, corresponds to the original English work In the Name of Salomé.
For readers of historical fiction and narratives about women; also suitable for reading clubs.
