Author's name: Isabel Allende Publisher: Dar Al-Adab for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2020 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: In 1939, Pablo Neruda prepared for the voyage of the ship Winnipeg; it is the legendary ship that sailed from France to Chile carrying two thousand Spanish refugees who had fled the oppressive Franco regime. Based on this historical event, which Neruda would remember as "his most beautiful poems," Isabel Allende narrates the enchanting story of a pregnant piano player and a doctor forced to leave besieged Barcelona at that time, and they dream of getting a second chance in exile. Isabel Allende, at the height of her narrative power, speaks to us about hope, belonging, and love in long-term exile... "She has here everything needed: the ear, the eye, the mind, the heart, and a comprehensive humanity that excludes no one."
