Description
En palabras de la propia Isabel Allende, *De amor y de sombra* «es la historia de una mujer y un hombre que se amaron en plenitud, salvándose así de una historia vulgar. La he llevado en la memoria cuidándola para que el tiempo no la desgaste, y es sólo ahora cuando puedo finalmente contarla. Lo haré por ellos y por otros que me confiaron sus vidas para que no las borre el viento...». Escrita durante su exilio en Venezuela, el amor entre Irene y Francisco es un alegato apasionado a favor de la fe en la libertad y la dignidad humanas. Fue el segundo gran éxito de Allende después de *La casa de los espíritus.*
First Sentence
"El primer dia de sol evaporo la humedad acumulada en la tierra por los meses de invierno y calento los fragiles huesos de los ancianos, que pudieron pasear por los senderos ortopedicos del jardin."
Description
Isabel Allende transports us to a Latin American country in the grip of a military dictatorship, where Irene Beltran, an upperclass journalist, and Francisco Leal, a photographer son of a Marxist professor together discover a hideous crime. They also discover how far they dare go in search of the truth in a nation of terror ... and how very much they risk.
