Sinopse

Edition with new cover of one of the greatest classics by the author of the bestseller The House of the Spirits .

Abandoned as a baby in 19th-century Chile, Eliza Sommers was raised by a prestigious English family in Valparaíso, where she fell in love with Joaquín Andieta, one of her adoptive uncle's servants. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 mobilized half the country, who didn't hesitate to set sail and pursue their fortune—including Joaquín, who promised her marriage as soon as he returned with his pockets full of gold.

But Eliza is unwilling to wait and sets off clandestinely for California in search of her beloved. Traveling hidden in the hold of a sailboat in the company of men and women drawn by gold fever, the young woman meets Tao Chi'en, a Chinese doctor who leads her on an unforgettable journey through the mysteries and contradictions of the human condition.
A vibrant portrait of an era marked by violence and greed, Daughter of Fortune is a book about the rediscovery of love, friendship, compassion, and courage, and is populated by characters who will forever remain in the memories and hearts of readers.
