Description
The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende In 1938, a young boy named Samuel boards the last Kindertransport train out of Austria, fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria for a new life in England. Eight decades later, a young girl named Anita is forced to flee her home in El Salvador, separated from her mother and left alone in a camp in the United States. This powerful and moving novel weaves together the stories of two families, separated by time and distance, yet bound by their love for each other. As Samuel and Anita navigate the challenges of their new lives, they must confront the sacrifices made by their parents and the courage it takes to never stop dreaming. With its rich and evocative storytelling, The Wind Knows My Name is a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and the human spirit. Isabel Allende's masterful storytelling brings to life a story of hope, resilience, and the search for home.
