«Inés of My Soul» is the historical novel by Isabel Allende, published by Fourth Estate in paperback (356 pages, in English).
The novel recreates the life of Inés Suárez, the first Spanish woman to travel to Chile in the 16th century. A seamstress in Spain, she falls in love with the conquistador Pedro de Valdivia and takes part in the founding of Santiago, in a story that blends love, war and the clash with indigenous peoples.
Originally published in Spanish in 2006 as «Inés del alma mía», this edition is the English translation.
A read for those who enjoy historical fiction, fictionalised biographies of women and accounts of the conquest of the Americas.
