From the author of “The House of the Spirits”, this epic novel spanning decades and crossing continents follows two young people as they flee the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War in search of a place to call home.  One of the most richly imagined portrayals of the Spanish Civil War to date, this recent endeavor has been hailed as one of the strongest and most affecting works in Allende’s long career.
