Aurora del Valle, raised by her grandmother Paulina in San Francisco, carries a trauma that has erased her early years and torments her with nightmares. After the betrayal of the man she loves, she decides to investigate her family past, in late 19th-century Chile, where characters from 'Hija de la fortuna' and 'La casa de los espíritus' reappear.
Originally published in October 2000, the novel is part of a trilogy by Isabel Allende.
