In this story, Julia Alvarez could be using 'names nombres' to show the connection between language and heritage. The different names might represent different aspects of the characters' backgrounds.

If you like novels like the Enen Witch, I can recommend some similar works. For example," Mad Concubine: Wolf King's Strange Ways to Chase His Wife " and " Wolf King's Pet Princess Consort " were ancient romance novels similar to " Wolf King's Contracted Concubine." In addition, if you like novels about time travel, you can read The Fierce Wife Is in Power: Don't Think of Running Away, General, and My General's Wife Is Afraid. These novels all have wonderful plots and attractive writing styles. I hope you will like them.
