Away from Valparaiso, away from her prim English relatives, trapped in the grip of stifling customs in the middle of a bustling Chilean city, a young girl follows her elusive, ghostly lover north to gold-rush California. A Chinese doctor, a sad widower who has lost his love, and with it his way, wanders the seas. One day these two will meet and help each other - and not only each other - to grow wings and find meaning in their own lives and in the chaotic boiling of History, from which American and Chilean modernity and everything we know about personal freedom grows with blood, pain, and giddy delight.

Isabel Allende is a superstar of Latin American literature alongside Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of South America's most celebrated women, an award-winning author, her books have been translated into dozens of languages, and her total circulation is steadily approaching one hundred million copies. Instantly became a bestseller novel Allende's "Daughter of Fortune", the prequel to her first, deafeningly progressive novel "House of Spirits" - a saga of crossing and overcoming boundaries: geographical, mental, racial, class and in general any. Here a man gradually gains freedom - at first frightening, then necessary as air - and becomes himself.
