Violeta

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