“Powerfully evocative. . . . Allende is at her best here; spinning words like spells, enthralling the reader with surreal visions of the New World.”– Newsweek
A passionate epic of love, freedom, and conquest, based on historical events, from the New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea.
Though she was born into poverty, In s Su rez, a seamstress in sixteenth-century Spain, embodies the same restless hope and opportunism that fuels her nation’s conquest of the Americas.
Learning that her shiftless husband has vanished, In s uses his disappearance to embark on her own adventure. It is a journey will lead her to Pedro de Valdivia–a conquistador who becomes the first royal governor of Chile–and to a love that not only changes her life but the course of history.
