{"product_id":"retrato-em-sepia","title":"SEPIA PORTRAIT","description":"THE BOOK \"I live among diffuse hues, velvety mysteries, uncertainties; the appropriate tone to tell my life is best suited to that of a sepia portrait...\" Through the final words of the narrative of Portrait in Sepia, Isabel Allende's latest book, we understand the true dimension of the story of Aurora del Valle (granddaughter of Eliza Sommers, protagonist of Daughter of Fortune). Piecing together illusory memories and the elusive threads of characters who crossed her path, the protagonist seeks to understand her past. The narrative, a sequel to the novel Daughter of Fortune, begins in 1862 and runs until 1896. Orphaned during childbirth, Aurora del Valle was born in San Francisco's Chinatown neighborhood in 1880 and was raised by her energetic and austere grandmother, Paulina del Valle. Entangled in family secrets, the protagonist grows up in a privileged environment, free from many of the limitations that oppressed women of her time, but unfortunately, she lives tormented by horrific nightmares. Portrait in Sepia stands out as a historical novel, where memory is the central theme. In this compelling family saga, the reader will rediscover some of the characters from Daughter of Fortune and The House of the Spirits. The author: Isabel Allende, although Chilean, was born in Lima, the Peruvian capital, in 1942. At seventeen, she began an intense career as a journalist and writer.
