Orphaned at birth, Eliza Sommers is raised in the British colony of Valpara?so, Chile, by the well-intentioned Victorian spinster Miss Rose and her more rigid brother Jeremy. Just as she meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaqu?n Andieta, a lowly clerk who works for Jeremy, gold is discovered in the hills of northern California. By 1849, Chileans of every stripe have fallen prey to feverish dreams of wealth. Joaqu?n takes off for San Francisco to seek his fortune, and Eliza, pregnant with his child, decides to follow him. As Eliza embarks on her perilous journey north in the hold of a ship and arrives in the rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco, she must navigate a society dominated by greedy men. But Eliza soon catches on with the help of her natural spirit and a good friend, the Chinese doctor Tao Chi'en. What began as a search for love ends up as the conquest of personal freedom. A marvel of storytelling, Daughter of Fortune confirms once again Isabel Allende's extraordinary gift for fiction and her place as one of the world's leading writers. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Gold mines and mining $z California $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Romance fiction. 650 0 $a Cassettes, Spoken. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 651 0 $a California $x History $y 1846-1850 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a California $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Adventures stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Brown, Blair, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12873734?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780063000346_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210202014200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E56BA18AF32A11EA95F7193D42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
