From Isabel Allende comes a sweeping and emotional historical novel about love, exile, and the search for belonging.

In the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, young doctor Víctor Dalmau and pianist Roser Bruguera are forced to flee their homeland, leaving everything behind.

Bound together by circumstance and survival, they embark on a life-changing journey aboard a ship bound for Chile—a land they hope will offer refuge and a chance to begin again.

As they build a new life in an unfamiliar country, their relationship evolves through years of political upheaval, personal sacrifice, and enduring hope. But history is never far behind, and once again, they find themselves facing displacement and uncertainty.

Spanning decades and continents, this story follows two people connected by fate as they navigate love, loss, and the meaning of home.

Rich, lyrical, and deeply moving, A Long Petal of the Sea explores resilience, identity, and the enduring power of human connection.
