A pesar de la fuerza del vínculo que las une, madre e hija son como la noche del día. Indiana es una atractiva bohemia de espíritu libre, sanadora especialista en Reiki y aromaterapia, y pese a llevar tiempo separada, sigue reacia a comprometerse con alguno de los hombres que la desean: ya sea Alan, el rico vástago de una de las familias miás importantes de San Francisco, o Ryan, un enigmático y traumatizado Navy SEAL. Si Indiana suele buscar el lado bueno de las personas, Amanda, siempre fascinada por el lado oscuro, tiende a ser más como su padre, inspector de policía. Brillante e introvertida, esta estudiante del último año de instituto anda siempre con una novela negra bajo el brazo al tiempo que lidera Ripper, un juego de rol que comparte con su abuelo y con amigos de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, todo se convulsionará cuando, tal como predijo la astróloga más reputada de San Francisco, una oleada de crímenes sacuda la ciudad. Amanda, con la ayuda inestimable de su abuelo y de todos los miembros del juego de Ripper, ejercerá de maestra de ceremonias para ayudar en la investigación de los asesinatos. El caso tomariá un cariz inesperado cuando Indiana sea secuestrada. Con la vida de su madre en vilo, Amanda deberá resolver, antes de que sea demasiado tarde, el misterio más complejo de su vida por medio de su juego.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1077793</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1077793</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1077793086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>[una novela]</subtitle><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780804171656/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[El juego de ripper]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tal como predijo la astróloga más reputada de San Francisco, una  oleada de crímenes comienza a sacudir la ciudad.

nombre es Emilia del Valle]]></title><description><![CDATA[Una inolvidable historia de amor y de guerra protagonizada por una mujer que, enfrentada a los mayores desafiÌos, sobrevive y se reinventa. San Francisco, 1866: una monja irlandesa, embarazada y abandonada por un aristoÌcrata chileno tras una apasionada relacioÌn, da a luz a una ninÌa a la que llama Emilia del Valle. Criada por su carinÌoso padrastro, Emilia se convertiraÌ en una joven brillante de gran personalidad, autoÌnoma e independiente, que desafiaraÌ las normas sociales de su tiempo para profesar su verdadera pasioÌn y vocacioÌn: la escritura. Con tan solo diecisiete anÌos, publicaraÌ novelas de aventuras bajo un pseudoÌnimo masculino. Pero, enseguida, su mundo ficticio se le quedaraÌ pequenÌo y decidiraÌ optar al puesto de periodista que se le ofrece en el perioÌdico local para vivir de cerca la realidad. Tiempo despueÌs, se le presentaraÌ la oportunidad de viajar como corresponsal a la ferviente guerra civil en Chile y no dudaraÌ en tomarla. Junto al avezado periodista Eric Whelan, Emilia se encontraraÌ una nacioÌn en quiebra, al borde del abismo. Mientras cubre el conflicto beÌlico entre el presidente Balmaceda y el congreso rebelde, aprovecharaÌ la estancia en el paiÌs para explorar sus viÌnculos con la familia Del Valle y poder, al fin, conocer a su padre. Sus reportajes la situaraÌn en el centro de la guerra, soportando situaciones de terrible violencia en el campo de batalla, en el hospital de sangre y en la caÌrcel, donde varias veces se debatiraÌ entre la vida y la muerte. Al tiempo, viviraÌ -y sufriraÌ- el amor y conoceraÌ tambieÌn, entre bosques, lagos y volcanes, una tierra donde no llega el horror de la guerra y donde, tal vez, acabe descubriendo no solo su destino sino su propia identidad. Una cautivadora e inolvidable historia de amor y de guerra, de descubrimiento y redencioÌn, protagonizada por una mujer que, enfrentada a los mayores desafiÌos, sobrevive y se reinventa. Emilia del Valle es desde ya un personaje inolvidable del universo maÌs feÌrtil de Isabel Allende, la saga Del Valle, que empezoÌ con su obra maestra La casa de los espiÌritus y continuoÌ con Hija de la fortuna y Retrato en sepia. ResenÌas: Isabel Allende es un tesoro literario. Su uÌltima novela, Mi Nombre es Emilia del Valle, es un retrato brillantemente escrito de una mujer encontrando la madurez y su propia voz en medio de la guerra civil chilena. En esta historia de amor, guerra, traicioÌn y redencioÌn, Allende nos transporta completamente al siglo XIX, una eÌpoca donde las decisiones de las mujeres se veiÌan limitadas y sus ambiciones, frustradas. Kristin Hannah, autora de El RuisenÌor Una novela cautivadora sobre el amor y la Guerra de parte de una de nuestras escritoras maÌs veneradas. Kate Morton, autora de El regreso]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1557890</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1557890</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1557890086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788401035258/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perla, la súper perrita]]></title><description><![CDATA["Perla es una súper perrita que tiene dos súper poderes: hacer que todos la quieran y rugir como un león.

Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is six years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht--the night their family loses everything. As her childs safety seems ever-harder to guarantee, Samuels mother secures a spot for him on the last Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Diaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Duran, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anitas mother. Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It 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.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1518743</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1518743</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1518743086</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822675018/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wind Knows My Name]]></title><description><![CDATA["This powerful and moving novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea weaves together past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019.

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://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1512125</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1512125</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1512125086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593598115/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
