Born during a storm in 1920, Violeta Del Valle’s life begins with chaos and never lets up. The only daughter in a house full of sons, she survives the Spanish flu, the Great Depression, dictatorship, and two pandemics, all while carving her own path through a century of transformation.
Told as a letter to someone she loves more than anyone else, Violeta’s story is rich with heartbreak, rebellion, scandal, and resilience. She endures war, poverty, forbidden love, and unimaginable loss, yet remains fiercely herself.
With lyrical storytelling and sweeping historical depth, Violeta captures the epic journey of one unforgettable woman. Isabel Allende invites us into a life fully lived, from the remote corners of South America to the roar of history itself.
