A beautifully crafted, historical novel of exiles and love. Dr. Victor Dalmau caught up in the Spanish Civil War, and Roser, who is pregnant with his missing brother's child, flee to seek refuge in Chile. Married at first for convenience, a lasting love grows. They are forced into exile again by the Pinochet regime but eventually return to Chile. By describing individuals' lives, loves and tragedies Allende takes you on a magnificent journey through historical events.
