Portrait In Sepia - Poche

After her mother dies in childbirth, Aurora del Valle is raised by her grandmother in San Francisco, but despite growing up in this rich and privileged environment, Aurora is unhappy. Haunted by terrible nightmares and the inexplicable absence of many of her childhood memories, and finding herself alone at the end of a love affair, she decides to travel to Chile to discover what it was, exactly, all those years ago, that had such a devastating effect on her young life. Bringing together characters from The House of the Spirits and Daughter of Fortune, Portrait in Sepia confirms Isabel Allende as one of the finest and most entertaining novelists writing today.
