From New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende, a
magical and sweeping love story and multigenerational epic that
stretches from San Francisco in the present-day to Poland and
the United States during World War II. In 1939, as Poland falls
under the shadow of the Nazis, young Alma Belasco’s parents send
her away to live in safety with an aunt and uncle in their
opulent mansion in San Francisco. There, as the rest of the
world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet and
gentle son of the family’s Japanese gardener. Unnoticed by those
around them, a tender love affair begins to blossom. Following
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly pulled
apart as Ichimei and his family—like thousands of other Japanese
Americans—are declared enemies and forcibly relocated to
internment camps run by the United States government. Throughout
their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but
theirs is a love that they are forever forced to hide from the
world.
