Isabel Allende is a superstar of Latin American literature along with Gabriel García Márquez, one of the most famous women in South America, winner of numerous awards, author of books translated into dozens of languages and with total circulations that are steadily approaching one hundred million copies. Allende's new novel, inspired by her mother's life, opens up into a giant, multicolored panorama. Before us is the story of a passionate and strong woman who knows how to laugh, no matter what, a truly epic heroine. At the beginning of this story is the Spanish flu epidemic, at the end - the coronavirus epidemic, and between them unfolds Violeta’s long life, her hundred years without loneliness. In this life there will be prosperity and poverty, dizzying loves and deadly disappointments, terrible losses and stunning delights, the birth of something new, the inevitability of death, inevitable wisdom. The 20th century - the Great Depression, wars, the rise and fall of tyrants, the fight for women's rights - will leave its mark on the fate of Violeta, who was born one night during a storm and lived a turbulent life to the bottom from the first to the last minute, from pandemic to pandemic. Allende turns the private life of an individual into a grandiose saga, instills hope when hopes are exhausted, and inspires when without inspiration it is difficult to move on.
