Synopsis "Ines del Alma mia (in Spanish)"

Inés Suárez es una joven y humilde costurera extremeña que se embarca hacia el Nuevo Mundo para buscar a su marido; extraviado con sus sueños de gloria al otro lado del Atlántico. Anhela también una vida de aventuras; vetada a las mujeres en la pacata sociedad del siglo XVI. En América; Inés no encuentra a su marido; pero sí un amor apasionado: Pedro de Valdivia; maestre de campo de Francisco Pizarro; junto a quien Inés se enfrenta a los riesgos y las incertidumbres de la conquista y la fundación del reino de Chile. En esta novela épica el aliento del amor concede una tregua a la rudeza; la violencia y la crueldad de un momento histórico inolvidable. A través de la pluma de Isabel Allende se confirma que la realidad puede ser tan sorprendente o más que la mejor ficción; e igualmente cautivadora. Reseñas: «Basándose en las vivencias documentadas de su heroína; Allende compone una novela épica; ágil y emocionante; llena de cruentas batallas y romances apasionados.» Publishers Weekly «Allende consigue resucitar a una mujer del olvido histórico y dotarla de las cualidades de una heroína.» New York Times Book Review «Allende[...] ha escritu su obra más contundentente desde La casa de los espíritus.» USA Today «La imaginación de Allende consigue cautivarnos [...] Esta es una obra que sus seguidores no deberían perderse.» Miami Herald
