Description
Violeta was born on a tumultuous day in 1920, the first child of a lively family of five siblings. Her life would be marked by extraordinary events from the start, as the aftermath of the Great War still lingered when the Spanish flu reached her native South American country, almost at the moment of her birth. The family's fortunes would soon change, as the Great Depression hit, forcing them to abandon their elegant urban life and retreat to a remote region of the country. It was there that Violeta would come of age and experience her first love. In a letter to the person she loved most, Violeta reflects on the devastating heartbreaks and passionate romances that shaped her life, including the struggles for women's rights and the rise and fall of dictators. Isabel Allende's latest novel is a deeply emotional and inspiring story, told through the eyes of a woman who embodies a passion, determination, and sense of humour that sustained her throughout a turbulent life.
