Sinopse

New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende presents in this sweeping novel the epic story of centenarian Violeta Del Valle, a woman who witnessed the effervescence of the 20th century.

Violeta was born on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a family of five children. From the beginning, her life was marked by extraordinary events: the effects of the Great War were still felt when the Spanish flu reached her country shortly before her birth.

The family emerged unscathed from this crisis, but they couldn't face the next. The Great Depression completely transformed the urban life Violeta knew. Her family lost everything and was forced to move to a more remote part of the country. There, she grew up and had her first suitor.

Violeta tells her story in a letter to the person she loves most in this life, recounting disappointments and love affairs, moments of poverty and wealth, terrible losses and immense joys, always permeating great events in history: the fight for women's rights, the rise and fall of tyrants and, ultimately, not one, but two pandemics.

Told through the eyes of a passionate, determined woman with a sense of humor, Isabel Allende – author of The House of the Spirits , Far Beyond Winter , Long Petal of the Sea , among others – takes us through a turbulent life in the form of an epic, inspiring and deeply moving novel.
