Isabel Allende is a superstar of Latin American literature alongside Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of the most famous women in South America, a recipient of numerous awards, and an author of books translated into dozens of languages with a combined circulation that steadily approaches one hundred million copies. Allende's new novel, inspired by the life of her mother, unfolds with a gigantic, multicolored panorama. It tells the story of a passionate and strong woman who knows how to laugh despite everything - a truly epic heroine. At the beginning of this story is the Spanish flu epidemic, at the end - the coronavirus epidemic, and in between unfolds the long life of Violeta, her one hundred years without loneliness. In this life, there will be prosperity and poverty, dizzying loves and devastating disappointments, terrible losses and overwhelming joys, the birth of new things, the inevitability of death, and inevitable wisdom. The 20th century - the Great Depression, wars, the rise and fall of tyrants, the struggle for women's rights - will leave its mark on Violeta's fate, born one stormy night and living a tumultuous life to the fullest from the first to the last minute, from one pandemic to another. Allende turns her private life into a grand saga, instilling hope when hope is exhausted and inspiring when it is difficult to move forward without inspiration.
