Sadly, though she finds that love in Papancho, he is never fully hers. But all the while she longs for that other kind of passion, the one her family and her readers would like to believe she is above: the passionate love of a man. Salomé writes in secret as a child, publishes briefly under a pseudonym and soon emerges as herself, a figure of inspiration for a nation. A masterful manipulator of time, Alvarez alternates points of view, shuttling us not only back and forth between Salomé and Camila, but also moving us forward in Salome’s life as she moves us backward in Camila’s.

What we get, then, is a compelling work of fiction based on remarkably tireless research and shaped by Camila’s reach into the past, into her mother’s history and her mother’s place in history, in order to make sense of the choices she has made about her own. But in Julia Alvarez’s new novel, In the Name of Salome, the mother, Dominican poet and political muse Salomé Ureña, only lives long enough to hear her three-year-old daughter Camila recite one of her consumptive mother’s poems. The Barnes and Noble Review – La Musa de la Patria In recent years, novelists Mona Simpson (Anywhere But Here), Karla Kuban (Marchlands) and Susannah Moore (My Old Sweetheart), among numerous others, have memorably explored the mother-daughter relationship, showing us the conflicted, often painful intersections of the lives of their multigenerational characters.
