Praise for Isabel Allende and A Long Petal of the Sea

One of the strongest and most affecting works in [Isabel Allende s] long career. The New York Times Book Review

Another gift of epic storytelling . . . A Long Petal of the Sea is a love story for these times. NPR

A return to the time and setting of the book that jump-started her literary career, The House of the Spirits . . . a page-turning story rich with history. Los Angeles Times

A historical love story penned in the lush and propulsive prose familiar to Allende s millions of fans worldwide, it . . . feels excitingly new and unerringly timely for this international superstar of an author. San Francisco Chronicle

Love and war shape everything in Allende s sweeping, splendid new novel. . . . This is her best book in years, one she has poured all of her prodigious passion and talent into. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

[Allende] writes with surpassing compassion and insight. Her place as an icon of world literature was secured long ago. She will be celebrated, by readers and writers alike, for generations to come. Khaled Hosseini

This gorgeous novel, like all the best novels, transports the reader to another time and place and sheds light on the way we live now. Allende is a legend, and this might be her finest book yet. J. Courtney Sullivan

Majestic . . . both timeless and perfectly timed for today. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In this transporting novel, Allende is as transcendent and life-affirming as ever. Esquire

O autorze

Isabel Allende won worldwide acclaim in 1982 with the publication of her first novel, The House of the Spirits. Since then, she has authored twenty-six bestselling and critically acclaimed books, which have been translated into more than forty-two languages. In addition to her work as a writer, Allende devotes much of her time to human rights causes. In 1996, following the death of her daughter, Paula Frias, she established a charitable foundation in her honor, which has awarded grants to more than one hundred nonprofits worldwide on behalf of women and girls. In 2014, President Barack Obama awarded Allende the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation s highest civilian honor, and in 2018 she received the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation. She has also received PEN Center USA s Lifetime Achievement Award. Raised in Chile, she now lives in California.
