Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler was six years old when his father disappeared during Kristallnacht-the night their family lost everything. Samuel's mother secured a spot for him on the last Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to the United Kingdom, which he boarded alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Diaz, a blind seven-year-old girl, and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. However, their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination she created with her sister back home. Anita's case is assigned to Selena Duran, a young social worker who enlists the help of a promising lawyer from one of San Francisco's top law firms. Together they discover that Anita has another family member in the United States: Leticia Cordero, who is employed at the home of now eighty-six-year-old Samuel Adler, linking these two lives. Spanning time and place, The Wind Knows My Name is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers-and never stop dreaming"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1661667</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1661667</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1661667092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593598108/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zorro]]></title><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1222474</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1222474</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1222474092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780060778972/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The House of the Spirits]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Trueba family embodies strong feelings from the beginning of the 20th century through the assassination of Allende in 1973]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1024738</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1024738</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 1985 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1024738092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781501117015/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Long Petal of the Sea]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the late 1930s, civil war gripped Spain. When General Franco and his Fascists succeed in overthrowing the government, hundreds of thousands are forced to flee in a treacherous journey over the mountains to the French border. Among them is Roser, a pregnant young widow, who finds her life irreversibly intertwined with that of Victor Dalmau, an army doctor and the brother of her deceased love. In order to survive, the two must unite in a marriage neither of them wants, and together are sponsored by poet Pablo Neruda to embark on the SS Winnipeg along with 2,200 other refugees in search of a new life. As unlikely partners, they embrace exile and emigrate to Chile as the rest of Europe erupts in World War. Starting over on a new continent, their trials are just beginning. Over the course of their lives, they will face test after test. But they will also find joy as they wait patiently for a day when they are exiles no more, and will find friends in the most unlikely of places. Through it all, it is that hope of being reunited with their home that keeps them going. And in the end, they will find that home might have been closer than they thought all along"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1545745</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1545745</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1545745092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984820150/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[La casa de los espíritus]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Trueba family embodies strong feelings from the beginning of the 20th century through the assassination of Allende in 1973]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1445517</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1445517</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1445517092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525433477/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[La casa de los espíritus]]></title><description><![CDATA[La primera novela de Isabel Allende, La casa de los esp©Ưritus narra la saga de una poderosa familia de terratenientes latinoamericanos.

In the Midst of Winter begins with a minor traffic accident--which becomes the catalyst for an unexpected and moving love story between two people who thought they were deep into the winter of their lives. Richard Bowmaster--a 60-year-old human rights scholar--hits the car of Evelyn Ortega--a young, undocumented immigrant from Guatemala--in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn. What at first seems just a small inconvenience takes an unforeseen and far more serious turn when Evelyn turns up at the professor's house seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant Lucia Maraz--a 62-year-old lecturer from Chile--for her advice. These three very different people are brought together in a mesmerizing story that moves from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil, sparking the beginning of a long overdue love story between Richard and Lucia.  Exploring the timely issues of human rights and the plight of immigrants and refugees, the book recalls Allende's landmark novel The House of the Spirits in the way it embraces the cause of "humanity, and it does so with passion, humor, and wisdom that transcend politics" (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post).

In 1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis and the world goes to war, young Alma Belasco's parents send her away to live in safety with an aunt and uncle in their opulent mansion in San Francisco. There she meets Ichimei Fukuda, the son of the family's Japanese gardener, and between them a tender love blossoms. Following Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly pulled apart when Ichimei and his family - like thousands of Japanese Americans - are declared enemies by the US government and relocated to internment camps. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love they are forever forced to hide from the world. Decades later, Alma is nearing the end of her long and eventful life. Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to terms with her own troubled past, meets the older woman and her grandson, Seth, at Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge a friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma, and learn about Ichimei and this extraordinary secret passion that has endured for nearly seventy years]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1381239</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1381239</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1381239092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781501116971/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[La suma de los días]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this memoir, Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of tragic loss--the death of her daughter, Paula.
