Wien, 1938: Samuel Adler er fem år gammel da faren forsvinner under Krystallnatten. Denne natten mister familien alt, og for å redde sønnen skaffer Samuels mor ham en plass på et tog fra det nazi-okkuperte Østerrike til England. Han går om bord alene, og med seg har han ikke annet enn et klesskift og fiolinen sin. Arizona, 2019: Åtti år senere går Anita Díaz og moren hennes om bord på et annet tog, på flukt fra El Salvador til USA. Men ved ankomst blir de skilt fra hverandre, og syv år gamle Anita befinner seg plutselig alene i en flyktningleir for barn. Mens en ung sosialarbeider prøver å spore opp moren hennes, søker Anita trøst i en magisk fantasiverden. Vinden kjenner mitt navn er både aktuell og tidløs – en roman om skjebnene til de mest uskyldige ofrene for krig og flukt: barna. På gripende vis skildrer Allende barns utrolige evne til å finne trøst i fantasien, musikken og fortellingene – også når virkeligheten er som mørkest.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This sweeping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea tells the epic story of Violeta del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century. Violeta comes into the world on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a family of five boisterous sons. From the start, her life will be marked by extraordinary events, for the ripples of the Great War are still being felt, even as the Spanish flu arrives on the shores of her South American homeland almost at the moment of her birth. Through her father's prescience, the family will come through that crisis unscathed, only to face a new one as the Great Depression transforms the genteel city life she has known. Her family loses all and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There, she will come of age, and her first suitor will come calling... She tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others, recounting devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, times of both poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life will be shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women's rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and, ultimately, not one but two pandemics. Told through the eyes of a woman whose unforgettable passion, determination, and sense of humor will carry her through a lifetime of upheaval, Isabel Allende once more brings us an epic that is both fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional.

"Jag överdriver inte när jag säger att jag varit feminist ända sedan lekskolan". Så inleder Isabel Allende sin memoar. Som liten flicka växte hon upp med sin mamma, som övergivits av Isabels pappa och ensam ko matt försörja tre små barn med knappa resurser. Isabel blev en arg och trotsig liten flicka, fast besluten att kämpa för det liv som hennes mamma inte kunnat få. Som ung kvinna i slutet av 1960-talet blev Allende, nu journalist, en del av den första stora feministiska vågen. Här kände hon äntligen som att hon kom till sin rätt. Fler kvinnliga journalister omgärdade henne, som hon själv modiga nog att skriva "med kniven mellan tänderna" när det handlade om kvinnors rättigheter. I "En kvinnas själ" berättar Allende också om sina tre äktenskap, och allt som dessa lärt henne. En av dessa lärdomar är att det är viktigt att ha ett eget liv, vid sidan om det gemensamma, att också värna sin egen identitet. En annan är att ta sin egen sexualitet på allvar. Så vad behöver kvinnor – och feminister – idag? Att få kännas sig trygg och uppskattad, att få vara fri och självständig, att få leva i fred och få bestämma över sina egna kroppar. Inom alla dessa områden finns mycket arbete att göra. Med den här boken hoppas Allende föra vidare sin visdom och sina erfarenheter till efterföljande generationer." De måste leva för oss, som vi levde för våra mödrar, och bära på med arbetet som fortfarande återstår att slutföra."

Den mytomspunna romanen Andarnas hus är dels en familjekrönika, dels en historisk skildring av ett icke namngivet latinamerikanskt land under 1900-talet. I centrum för berättelsen står Esteban Trueba, patriark och jordägare som så småningom väljer att kandidera till presidentposten. Férula, hans syster, är den som tar hand om deras mor och sköter egendomen. Clara, Estebans eteriska och undflyende hustru står i kontakt med förfädernas andar. Esteban och Clara blir föräldrar till den upproriska Blanca, flickan som gör som hon vill och föder dottern Alba, frukten av Blancas förhållande med förmannen på familjen Truebas ägor. Berättelsen börjar som ett brev till Allendes döende farfar och skrevs under tiden Allende levde i exil i Venezuela. På omvägar fick Isabel Allende höra talas om den legendariska agenten Carmen Balcells i Barcelona och skickade sitt manus dit med post. Mer än fyra decennier har gått sedan Isabel Allende debuterade med den episka Andarnas hus, romanen som blev en enorm succé världen över. Resten är litteraturhistoria, och ett stort författarskap var fött. Andarnas hushar idag översatts till mer än fyrtio språk och Isabel Allende anses vara en av världslitteraturens främsta författare.
