Isabel Allende starts from the famous quote by Albert Camus - "in the middle of winter I finally learned that there was an invincible summer in me" - to weave a plot that presents the human geography of some characters typical of today's America who are « in the deepest winter of their lives»: a Chilean woman, a young illegal Guatemalan woman and a mature North American. The three survive a terrible snowstorm that falls in the middle of winter in New York and end up learning that beyond winter there is room for unexpected love and for the invincible summer that life always offers when least expected.

Beyond Winter is one of Isabel Allende's most personal stories: a completely contemporary work that addresses the reality of emigration and the identity of today's America through characters who find hope in love and second thoughts. opportunities.

Reviews:

Beyond winter is a novel abundant in social and ideological denunciations. Isabel Allende offers us in this book a complete narrative menu as a holiday reading; an incencible summer or at least entertaining and socially conscious with its literary vitality and existence.

I enjoy these stories that Allende tells us, whose theme is slowly drifting to the theme of old age, seen that yes, with a contagious vitality and joy.

We find here the most personal Allende, who once again deals with universal themes such as loneliness, death, love, second chances and, above all, those personal stories that apparently have nothing to do with each other but come together to show that beautiful coincidences exist.

Every day that passes I am more convinced that Isabel Allende is one of my favorite authors. I encourage you to start with it because it will not disappoint you. He is able to introduce current issues without losing an iota of his way of writing.

Blog Logs of my readings

Once again, Isabel Allende has conquered me with this novel made up of three stories. A hard but sweet novel, bitter but with a touch of humor and a lot of optimism. And, in addition, a highly entertaining novel that is a pleasure to read.
