Sinopse

Author of the acclaimed bestseller The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende brings us one of her most personal stories in Beyond Winter - a truly timely work that discusses immigration and identity in America through the moving journey of characters who find hope and love through second chances.

It all begins with a minor traffic accident - which becomes the catalyst for an unexpected and touching love story between two people who believed they were in the winter of their lives.

In the midst of a blizzard in Brooklyn, Richard Bowmaster, a 60-year-old university professor, rear-ends the car of Evelyn Ortega, a young illegal immigrant from Guatemala. What initially seemed like a minor incident takes an unexpected and much more serious turn when Evelyn shows up at the professor's house seeking help. Confused by the situation and unable to understand the young woman's Spanish, he turns to his tenant, Lucía Maraz, a 62-year-old Chilean woman who is spending time in the United States as a lecturer at the same university where Richard teaches. Together, these very different people embark on a dramatic and incredible adventure, stretching from present-day Brooklyn to recent Guatemala, from 1970s Chile to 1980s Brazil, and in which they discover their inner strength. For Lucía and Richard, above all, it could mean a new chance at love.

Exploring timeless themes such as human rights and the plight of immigrants, Beyond Winter reflects on important human issues with passion, humor, and wisdom.

“Isabel Allende has the rare and precious gift of simultaneously challenging and engaging readers, dramatizing with surprising intimacy situations like the desperation that permeates illegal immigration and violence, and then, on the next page, working with spirituality, sensuality, and heroic lightness.” - Booklist
