Violeta

Description

A life between two pandemics, beginning with the Spanish flu and ending with the coronavirus. In letters brimming with sweetness and vibrant life, Violeta recounts her passionate journey over a century, traversing the various phases of her long life. We see her as a pampered child in a wealthy family struggling with the Great Depression; as a dreamy young girl in the picturesque Chilean countryside; as a passionate woman forging her path in a male-dominated world; as a mother tormented by the fate of her son and daughter; and finally, as a grandmother brimming with life’s most ardent enthusiasm. All of this unfolds within a historical context rich with momentous events that shaped our world as we know it today.

Isabel Allende returns to the epic novel genre with a graceful pen and a captivating style that blends reality and fantasy, presenting us with a novel inspired by the present and the past, in which the reader will recognize echoes of “Paula” and the flavor of “The House of the Spirits.”
