她的生命跨越百年，見證了 20 世紀最大的動盪... 暢銷經典《精靈之屋》、《春膳》作者伊莎貝·阿言德最新作品！ 出生於1920年，Violeta是南美一個富裕家族的么女。時至2021年，百歲的Violeta將娓娓道來她走過的漫漫人生路與為她人生帶來無數波瀾與險阻的時代波滔。 Violeta comes into the world on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a family with five boisterous sons. From the start, her life is marked by extraordinary events, for the ripples of the Great War are still being felt, even as the Spanish flu arrives on the shores of her South American homeland almost at the moment of her birth. Through her father’s prescience, the family will come through that crisis unscathed, only to face a new one as the Great Depression transforms the genteel city life she has known. Her family loses everything and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There, she will come of age, and her first suitor will come calling. She tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others, recounting times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women’s rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately not one, but two pandemics.
