Publisher's Synopsis
A Woman Without a Name. A Love that Dissolves in the Sea. A Grief that Turns into Poetry.
Your Name is Mine is an intimate journal written from the alleys of Quito to the beaches of the Pacific. Through letters, poetic fragments, and feverish memories, the narrator-granddaughter of the poet María Elena Anda Rumazo-exposes her invisibility within a patriarchal society that marginalizes her, the devastating loss of a pregnancy, and the obsessive search for her own identity amid family ruins and voracious romances.
With Quito slang, boleros, pop references, and prose that oscillates between magical realism and urban confession, this book celebrates female resilience, the healing power of writing, and the beauty that arises from pain.
Key Themes:
Motherhood and grief
Toxic love vs. desire for freedom
Literary heritage and collective memory
Contemporary Latin American feminism
The sea as mirror and refuge
For readers of Gabriela Wiener, Camila Sosa Villada, and Ocean Vuong, who seek a raw, poetic, and deeply Ecuadorian voice.
Do you dare to name yourself? Dive in and discover how pain can transform into the ocean and rebirth.
