A Long Petal of the Sea: A Novel

From internationally acclaimed author Isabel Allende comes A Long Petal of the Sea, a sweeping historical novel about love, exile, and survival.

Set during the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, the story follows Victor and Roser, a young doctor and a pianist forced to flee their homeland. They find refuge aboard the SS Winnipeg, a ship chartered by poet Pablo Neruda to carry refugees to Chile — the “long petal of the sea and wine and snow.”

Spanning decades and continents, this moving saga explores the endurance of hope, the power of love, and the search for belonging amidst war and upheaval. With Allende’s signature lyrical style, this novel is both deeply human and profoundly relevant.
