Una obra de extraordinaria dimension humana que eleva la narrativa de la autora a cotas de perfeccion literariaNarrada en la voz de una joven mujer, esta es una magnifica novela historica, situada a finales del siglo XIX en Chile, y una portentosa saga familiar en la que reencontramos algunos personajes de Hija de la fortun a y de La casa de los espiritus, novelas cumbre en la obra de Isabel Allende. El tema principal es la memoria y los secretos de familia. La protagonista, Aurora del Valle, sufre un trauma brutal que determina su caracter y borra de su mente los primeros cinco años de su vida. Criada por su ambiciosa abuela, Paulina del Valle, crece en un ambiente privilegiado, libre de muchas de las limitaciones que oprimen a las mujeres de su epoca, pero atormentada por horribles pesadillas. Cuando debe afrontar la traicion del hombre que ama y la soledad, decide explorar el misterio de su pasado. Una obra de extraordinaria dimension humana que eleva la narrativa de la autora a cotas de perfeccion literaria.
