Nineteenth-century Peruvian author Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera produced widely-read novels such as Blanca Sol and Las consecuencias. These texts have traditionally been analyzed in conjunction with her polemical reception by contemporaries and their naturalist depictions. However, this paper demonstrates that the novels also employ financial topics, such as gambling, to raise larger social questions surrounding games of love, gender inequalities in relationships and the workforce, and the Peruvian economy. Cabello de Carbonera’s representation of gambling and love games in parallel to social and economic inequalities has not been sufficiently explored by critics and connects directly to other naturalist tropes in her fiction
