Description

A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende In the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, hundreds of thousands are forced to flee in a treacherous journey over the mountains to the French border. Among them is Roser, a pregnant young widow, and Victor Dalmau, an army doctor, who find their lives intertwined in a marriage neither of them desires. As they embark on the SS Winnipeg, a ship chartered by the poet Pablo Neruda, to Chile, they face trial after trial, but also find joy as they patiently await the day when they might go home. Their hope of returning to Spain keeps them going, but they will soon discover that home might have been closer than they thought all along. This epic novel spans decades and crosses continents, following two young people as they flee the war and search for a place to call home.
