In this haunting tale of passion and political turmoil, Isabel Allende weaves a tapestry of love and resistance in a country gripped by fear. Irene, a fearless journalist, and Francisco, a daring photographer, find themselves drawn into a dangerous investigation that will change their lives forever. As they uncover the brutal truth behind disappearances and murders, their growing love becomes a beacon of hope in a world of shadows. Allende’s lyrical prose and unflinching portrayal of human resilience will stay with you long after the final page.
Memory is fragile and the space of a single life so brief, passing so quickly, that we never get a chance to see the relationship between events; we cannot gauge the consequences of our acts, and we believe in the fiction of past, present, and future.
