Desde el principio su vida estaraÌ marcada por acontecimientos extraordinarios, pues todaviÌa se sienten las ondas expansivas de la Gran Guerra cuando la gripe espanÌola llega a las orillas de su paiÌs sudamericano natal, casi en el momento exacto de su nacimiento. Gracias a la clarividencia del padre, la familia saldraÌ indemne de esta crisis para darse de bruces con una nueva, cuando la Gran DepresioÌn altera la elegante vida urbana que Violeta ha conocido hasta ahora. Su familia lo perderaÌ todo y se veraÌ obligada a retirarse a una regioÌn salvaje y remota del paiÌs. AlliÌ Violeta alcanzaraÌ la mayoriÌa de edad y tendraÌ su primer pretendiente... En una carta dirigida a una persona a la que ama por encima de todas las demaÌs, Violeta rememora devastadores desenganÌos amorosos y romances apasionados, momentos de pobreza y tambieÌn de prosperidad, peÌrdidas terribles e inmensas alegriÌas. MoldearaÌn su vida algunos de los grandes sucesos de la historia: la lucha por los derechos de la mujer, el auge y caiÌda de tiranos y, en uÌltima instancia, no una, sino dos pandemias" -- $c Amazon. 520 $a Violeta comes into the world on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a family with five boisterous sons. From the start, her life is marked by extraordinary events, for the ripples of the Great War are still being felt, even as the Spanish flu arrives on the shores of her South American homeland almost at the moment of her birth. Through her father's prescience, the family will come through that crisis unscathed, only to face a new one as the Great Depression transforms the genteel city life she has known. Her family loses everything and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There, she will come of age, and her first suitor will come calling. She tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others, recounting times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women's rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately not one, but two pandemics. 546 $a En espanÌol = In Spanish. 650 0 $a Epidemics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Influenza Epidemic, 1918-1919 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women's rights $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Latin America $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 20 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710061457.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032650.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611024224.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20240206010935.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111010817.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20231102012803.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20231010042621.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20230713014127.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230221010514.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20221102013940.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20220830012953.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20220804030620.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024327.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20220729010604.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220702010356.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013029.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20220607012009.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20220408010450.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220302013048.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220128010037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0AEBEB8800711ECA828FA2942ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
