Conceived in an embrace designed to comfort a dying man, born to
a servant and raised as a hired hand, Eva Luna learns quickly that
she has a talent that belies her humble start: the gift of
storytelling. As the years pass and her imprudent nature sends Eva
from household to household--from the home of a doctor famed for
mummifying the dead to a colorful whorehouse and the care of a
beautiful transsexual--it is Eva's magical imagination that keeps
her alive and fuels her ardent encounters with lovers of all kinds.
And as her South American homeland teeters on the brink of
political chaos, and Eva's fate is intertwined with guerrilla
fighters and revolutionaries, she will find her life's calling--and
the soul mate who will envelop her in a love entirely beyond her
mystical inventions.
"Eva Luna" is a literary triumph, a novel brimming with battles and
passions, rebellions and reunions--and some of the most exquisite
characters Isabel Allende has ever created.
