The Daughter of Luck is the first novel in the sequence of events of what is known as the House of Spirits trilogy, which is the most famous work of the Chilean-American Isabel Allende. The trilogy is known to be interconnected and standalone, so each work can be read independently or in the correct order. The Daughter of Luck was published in a new edition with a beautiful cover and a meticulous translation by the late Saleh Alamani, published by Dar Al-Adab, as part of distinguished translated novels that include the rest of Allende's works.
About "Daughter of Luck"
The author weaves the threads of the events of this novel moving between Chile, China, and California, in a certain historical period. In the 19th century, the dreams of discovering gold were vast and dangerous in California, where Elza the orphan goes in search of the man she loved. However, "it seems that we all came looking for something and found something else... They say about the novel Daughter of Luck that it envelops us when we delve into the lush thickets of this exquisite narrative text."
Buthaina Al-Eissa praised her writing for the virtues of folk tales when she masterfully narrates vast historical events, about birth and losing the newborn, about earthquakes and snowstorms, about the tragedies of workers and slavery, about eternal love and overwhelming passion.
