Violeta [English Edition]: A Novel

This sweeping novel from Isabel Allende tells the epic story of Violeta Del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century.

Through her father’s prescience, the family will come through crises unscathed, only to face new ones as the Great Depression transforms their genteel city life.

Violeta recounts times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy in a letter to someone she loves above all others.

Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women’s rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately not one, but two pandemics.

With an immersive saga about a passion-filled life, this book is sure to captivate readers with its fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional story.
