فيوليتا

A life between two pandemics, beginning with the Spanish flu, ending with the coronavirus. In messages dripping with sweetness and pulsating with life, Violeta tells her passionate story over a century, passing through the various stages of her long life. We see her as a spoiled child in the wealthy family home that was affected by the Great Depression; as a dreamy girl in the enchanting Chilean countryside; as a loving woman forging her way in a man's world; then as a tortured mother facing her son's and daughter's fate; and finally as a grandmother full of zest for life more than ever. All of this within a historical framework filled with major events that shaped our world as we know it today. Isabel Allende returns to epic storytelling, with a graceful pen and a captivating style that blends reality with fantasy, offering us a novel inspired by the present and the past, in which the reader can distinguish echoes of "Paula" and the taste of "House of Spirits."
