New York Times and worldwide bestselling author Isabel Allende
returns with a sweeping novel that journeys from present-day
Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil
that offers "a timely message about immigration and the meaning of
home" (People). During the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living
memory, Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his
sixties, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega, a young undocumented
immigrant from Guatemala, and what at first seems an inconvenience
takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house, seeking
help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant, Lucia Maraz, a
fellow academic from Chile, for her advice. As these three lives
intertwine, each will discover truths about how they have been
shaped by the tragedies they witnessed, and Richard and Lucia will
find unexpected, long overdue love. Allende returns here to themes
that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice,
the art of survival, and the essential nature of--and our need
for--love.
