Description
Isabel Allende's personal memoir is a testament to the ties that bind families. Written during a period of unimaginable grief, this book tells the story of her life, family history and the tragedy of her nation in the years leading up to Pinochet's military coup. The author's daughter fell gravely ill in 1991, prompting Allende to write letters to her bedside. As she spent hours with her daughter in a Madrid hospital and hotel room, Allende turned to storytelling to sustain her own spirit and convey hope to her child. The result is a brave and enlightening account of love, loss and survival. Through this book, Isabel Allende shares her own story, one that is deeply personal yet universally relatable.
