About This Book
Internationally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende has written a magnificent
historical novel set at the end of the nineteenth century in Chile -- a
marvelous family saga that takes up and continues the story begun in her highly
acclaimed Daughter of Fortune.
Recounted in the voice of a young woman in search of her roots, Portrait in
Sepia is a novel about memory and family secrets. Aurora del Valle suffers a
brutal trauma that shapes her character and erases from her mind all
recollection of the first five years of her life. Raised by her ambitious
grandmother, the regal and commanding Paulina del Valle, Aurora grows up in a
privileged environment, free of the limitations that circumscribe the lives of
women at that time, but tormented by horrible nightmares. When she is forced to
recognize her betrayal at the hands of the man she loves, and to cope with the
resulting solitude, she decides to explore the mystery of her past.
Portrait in Sepia is an extraordinary achievement: richly detailed, epic in
scope, intimate in its probing of human character, and thrilling in the way it
illuminates the complexity of family ties.
