Isabel Allende
"Isabel Allende (1942) is de meest gelezen Spaanstalige schrijver ter wereld. Van haar boeken werden miljoenen exemplaren verkocht. In 2022 vierde Wereldbibliotheek Allendes veertigjarige schrijverschap met geheel nieuwe edities van al haar bestsellers. Ze maakte in 1982 furore met de debuutroman Het huis met de geesten, waarna de successen zich bleven opstapelen, met als laatste Violeta in 2022.
Allende schrijft boeken in genres variërend van historische romans tot YA tot thrillers. Haar oeuvre en levenswerk werden groots bekroond door Barack Obama met een Presidential Medal of Freedom."
Samenvatting
This powerful and moving novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea and Violeta weaves together past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019.
Both stories are rich enough to carry the weight of one novel, but Allende expertly intertwines them.The Washington Post
Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnachtthe night his family loses everything. As her childs safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuels mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin.
Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Díaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Durán, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anitas mother.
Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangersand never stop dreaming.
