About this product
Product Information
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "The lives of a Jewish boy escaping Nazi-occupied Europe and a mother and daughter fleeing twenty-first-century El Salvador intersect in this ambitious, intricate novel about war and immigration" ( People ), from the author of A Long Petal of the Sea and Violeta "Timely, provocative . . . emotionally satisfying . . . [a story about] the kindness of strangers who become family."-- The New York Times Book Review Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht--the night his family loses everything. As her child's safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuel's mother secures a spot for him on a 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 Díaz 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 Durán, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita's 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.

Reviews
"Allende's storytelling walks a lyrical romanticism on roads imposed by social and political turmoil. . . . The children trapped by geopolitical violence and left to navigate immigration by themselves are the core inspiration for The Wind Knows My Name . The story is a love letter to them, and their plight is powerfully evoked . . . [Allende's] dialogue [is] current, relevant and real." --NPR Book Review "The lives of a Jewish boy escaping Nazi-occupied Europe and a mother and daughter fleeing 21st-century El Salvador intersect in this ambitious, intricate novel about war and immigration. A historical saga that is deeply connected to our present day." --People "This beloved author transports us to two dark periods in history: Nazi-overrun Vienna in 1938 and the current dire situation at the border between the United States and Mexico. . . . Both stories are rich enough to carry the weight of one novel, but Allende expertly intertwines them. Employing her signature touch of magical realism, she wraps us in a compassionate story that reminds us 'we could all just as easily find ourselves in similar situations.'" -- The Washington Post "[Allende is] the queen of magic realism." --BBC "Allende's artistry shapes a lyrical romanticism around social political history and global turmoil." --NPR "It feels something like a modern version of The Secret Garden : lost, grieving people finding joy and hope with each other, with a touch of magic. Beautiful and moving . . . draws parallels between humanitarian crises in different times and places in a way that feels deeply personal." -- Book Riot " The Wind Knows My Name is a treat for fans of Kristin Hannah, Christina Baker Kline, and Julia Alvarez, all authors who understand that history always affects current events." -- Virtuoso, The Magazine "Allende is always a must read and readers will queue for her latest mix of history, suspense, emotional insight, social commentary, mysticism, wit, and tenderness." -- Booklist "Powerful . . . Allende finds real depth in her characters, especially when portraying their sacrifices. This authentic and emotionally harrowing work is a triumphant return to form." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), Praise for A Long Petal of the Sea "[Isabel Allende] has deftly woven fact and fiction, history and memory, to create . . . one of the strongest and most affecting works in her long career." -- The New York Times Book Review " A Long Petal of the Sea gets to the heart of immigrant struggle. . . . Allende reminds us that these issues, at their core, are made up of individuals and their love stories." -- USA Today "A historical love story penned in the lush and propulsive prose familiar to Allende's millions of fans worldwide, it . . . feels excitingly new and unerringly timely for this international superstar of an author." -- San Francisco Chronicle Praise for Violeta "Fans of Allende's generation-spanning family epics are in for a treat. . . . Violeta's personal loves and tragedies intertwine with decades of Latin American political turmoil, economic uncertainty, and social change." -- The Washington Post " Violeta recalls Allende's best known and highly successful novel, The House of Spirits, which weaves together the personal and the political in a saga stretching across decades." --Associated Press "An immersive saga about a passion-filled life." -- People
