Description
Description
Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende is a sweeping historical novel about love, adventure, identity, and the pursuit of freedom during the California Gold Rush.
Orphaned at birth and raised in Valparaíso, Chile, by a British family, Eliza Sommers falls in love with Joaquín Andieta, a young clerk who leaves for California after gold is discovered in 1849. Pregnant and determined to find him, Eliza secretly follows, beginning a dangerous journey that takes her from Chile to the chaotic streets and mining camps of California.
With the help of Chinese physician Tao Chien, Eliza gradually discovers a world beyond the limits of her upbringing. What begins as a search for lost love becomes a journey toward independence, self-discovery, and a life of her own choosing.
A rich choice for readers who enjoy historical fiction, strong female characters, immigration stories, and sweeping family sagas.
Translated from Spanish by Margaret Sayers Peden
