In The Mist Of Winter

New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel about three very different people who are brought together in a mesnerizing story that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil.

Amid the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in livng memory, Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his sixties, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega, a young undocumented immigrant from Guatamela, and what at first seems an inconvenience takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house, seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant, Lucia Maraz, a fellow academic from Chile, for her advice.

As these three lives intertwine, each will discover truths about how they have been shaped by the tragedies they witnessed, and Richard and Lucia will find unexpected, long overdue love. Allende, who has been called "one of the greatest writers of our time" (Washington Post), returns here to themes that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice, the art of survival, and the essential nature of - and our need for - love.
