On a snowy Brooklyn day, a minor car accident brings together Richard Bowmaster, a lonely academic; Evelyn Ortega, an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala; and Lucia Maraz, a lively Chilean lecturer. What begins as a chance encounter spirals into a journey of survival, love, and unexpected revelations. Isabel Allende weaves a story that spans continents and decades, exploring themes of exile, resilience, and the power of human connection.
Trending among book lovers drawn to immigrant narratives, unexpected love in later life, and Allende's signature blend of history and intimacy. Perfect for fans of The House of the Spirits and Of Love and Shadows by Isabel Allende, and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
