Isabel Allende's novel “A Narrow Petal at the Edge of the Sea” is the life story of a real person, a Catalan doctor who, saving his life, was forced to leave his homeland and across the ocean, in Chile, to start a new life and find love. But even in his new homeland he faced difficult trials. This story about love and pain, about friendship and exile reflects almost half a century of the history of our planet, always tormented by wars.
