Sinopse

“ Long Petal of Sea is one of the richest portraits of the Spanish Civil War ever conceived and one of the most powerful and moving works in Isabel Allende's long career.” - The New York Times Book Review

From the author of The House of the Spirits , Long Petal of the Sea is an epic novel that begins in the Spanish Civil War and continues through the rise and fall of Pinochet, showing why Isabel Allende is the queen of historical fiction.

In the midst of the Spanish Civil War, young doctor Víctor Dalmau and his friend, pianist Roser Bruguera, are forced to abandon Barcelona, go into exile, and cross the Pyrenees to France. Aboard the Winnipeg, a ship chartered by poet Pablo Neruda, which brought more than two thousand Spaniards to Valparaíso, they set sail in search of the peace and freedom they lacked in their homeland. Welcomed as heroes in Chile—that "long petal of sea and snow," in the words of the Chilean poet—the two will integrate into the country's social life for several decades, until the coup d'état that overthrew Salvador Allende, with whom Víctor was linked by ties of friendship thanks to their passion for chess. Víctor and Roser will find themselves exiled once again, but, as the author says: "when you live long enough, all circles close."

Longa Pétala de Mar is a journey through the history of the 20th century, hand in hand with some unforgettable characters who discovered that a single life can hold many others, and sometimes the difficult part is not escaping, but returning.
