A remarkable woman.

A life of a hundred years.

An unforgettable story. Violeta came into the world amidst a storm in 1920. She was the first daughter of a family that already had five lively boys. From the beginning, her life was marked by distinct events: the upheavals of the Great War were still palpable when the Spanish Flu reached the shores of Latin America, where her homeland was, almost simultaneously with her birth.

In a letter that Violeta writes to her most beloved person, she unfolds the story of her life, which spans a hundred years filled with unbearable sorrows and passionate loves, wealth and poverty, tremendous losses and great joys. Her journey unfolded parallel to the historical developments of an entire century and was shaped by the struggle for women's rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately, not one but two pandemics.

Through the eyes of a woman who, thanks to her indomitable passion, determination, and humor, managed to survive turbulent times, Isabella Allende offers us once again an epic that inspires and moves us.
