Eva is a naturally gifted and imaginative storyteller who meets people from all stations and walks of life. Though she has no wealth, she trades her stories like currency with people who are kind to her. In this novel, she shares the story of her own life and introduces readers to a diverse and eccentric cast of characters including the Lebanese émigré who befriends her and takes her in; her unfortunate godmother, whose brain is addled by rum and who believes in all the Catholic saints and a few of her own invention; a street urchin who grows into a petty criminal and, later, a leader in the guerrilla struggle; a celebrated transsexual entertainer who instructs her in the ways of the adult world; and a young refugee whose flight from postwar Europe will prove crucial to Eva's fate. As Eva tells her story, Isabel Allende conjures up a whole complex South American nationâthe rich, the poor, the simple, and the sophisticatedâin a novel replete with character and incident, with drama and comedy and history, with battles and passions, rebellions and reunions, a novel that celebrates the power of imagination to create a better world. 541 $d 20170718. 546 $a Text in Spanish. 650 1 $a interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Working class women $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Social role $z Chile $x Fiction. 650 7 $a Political corruption $z Chile $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Storytelling $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Household employees $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Chile $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041554.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20171017051559.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20170919013145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AD12DA69D0011E7B5694BF696128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
