Summary
**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
The captivating new novel from the multi-million-bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and The Japanese Lover. Now the New York Times bestseller.
New York Times bestseller Isabel Allende returns with a beautifully crafted, multi-generational novel of struggle, endurance and friendship against the odds.
Amid the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory, an unexpected friendship blossoms between three people thrown together by circumstance. Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his sixties, hits the car driven by Evelyn Ortega, a young, undocumented migrant from Guatemala. But what at first seems an inconvenience takes an unforeseen and darker turn when Evelyn comes to him and his neighbour Lucia Maraz, desperately seeking help.
Sweeping from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala to turbulent 1970s Chile and Brazil, and woven with Isabel Allende's trademark humanity, passion and storytelling verve, In the Midst of Winter is a mesmerizing and unforgettable tale read for you by Dennis Boutsikaris, Alma Cuervo and Jasmine Cephas Jones.

An Imaginative Story.
Isabel Allende is a magnificent storyteller one who truly understands the mysteries of life and love with a wisdom which she easily conveys to her readers.
Through her ability to create both intriguing and credible characters she transports the reader into the psyche of each one in turn.
This book is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of human nature and its quest for love, acceptance and connection.
I loved this book.

I really like Isabel Allende’s writing
All her books have depth and meaning this one in particular. Narrative the story was told impeccable. You have to give the book time, whilst the scenes are set. Be patient and you won’t be disappointed.
