Description
From the author of The House of the Spirits, this epic novel spans decades and crosses continents, following two young people fleeing the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War in search of a place to call home. Roser, a pregnant young widow, and Victor Dalmau, an army doctor, unite in a marriage of necessity as they embark for Chile on the SS Winnipeg, chartered by Pablo Neruda. As they face trials and joys in exile, their hope of returning to Spain keeps them going.
