Sinopse

A story of violence, love, uprooting, and hope. In *The Wind Knows My Name* , New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende interweaves past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and migration on the lives of two children.

Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht—the night his family loses everything. As her son's safety becomes increasingly difficult to guarantee, Samuel's mother secures a place for him on the Kindertransport train from Nazi Austria to England. Alone, the boy embarks, carrying only his violin and the burden of loneliness and uncertainty that will haunt him throughout his life.

Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Díaz and her mother board a train, fleeing the imminent dangers in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone in a camp for refugee children. Frightened, she seeks refuge from reality in a place only she knows: Azabahar. A magical world. Meanwhile, Selena Durán, a young social worker, and Frank Angileri, a successful lawyer, fight to reunite the girl with her mother and provide her with a better future.

In The Wind Knows My Name , past and present intertwine to tell the drama of uprooting, compassion, and love. A contemporary novel about the sacrifices parents make for their children, the surprising ability of some children to survive violence without stopping to dream, and the tenacity of hope, which can shine even in the darkest moments. A story about the deep wounds that forced migration leaves and the people who struggle to heal them.
