Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller Isabel Allende returns with a beautifully crafted, multigenerational 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 60s, 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.

Tender and informative book
Isabelle Allende is one of my favourite writers. She is a master in mixing love stories with historical events. Every time I read one of her books I learn more about south American history that put me in touch with a reality that I could never imagined! This book describes very well the pain and sorrow that the protagonists go through, yet, they find the light at the end of the tunnel. Love, hope , acceptance: the cure for everything.
