In 'A Long Petal of the Sea,' Isabel Allende weaves a moving story that intertwines the Spanish Civil War with Chile in the mid-20th century. Through the eyes of Roser Bruguera and Víctor Dalmau, young exiles aboard the Winnipeg, we witness the search for peace and freedom in a foreign country. However, the coup against Salvador Allende confronts them again with uprooting, demonstrating that life is full of circles that close and that, sometimes, returning is more difficult than fleeing. An epic novel about human resilience and the ability to find a home in adversity.
