From best-selling author Isabel Allende comes this new charming and insightful novel. Fleeing the Spanish Civil War during the late 1930s, pregnant widow Roser and the brother of her deceased love reluctantly marry in order to survive their exile. They board the SS Winnipeg and sail to Chile, beginning their lives again on a new continent, all the while dreaming of returning to their homeland. A story of survival, hope, loss, and love, A Long Petal of the Sea offers a new perspective on the meaning of belonging and home.
