Allende, Isabel - The Wind Knows My Name (Hardback)

In The Wind Knows My Name, Isabel Allende intertwines the stories of two children separated by time and geography but connected through shared experiences of displacement and resilience. In 1938 Vienna, five-year-old Samuel Adler's life is upended during Kristallnacht, leading his mother to secure him a spot on a Kindertransport to England, where he faces an uncertain future alone. Decades later, in 2019 Arizona, seven-year-old Anita Díaz and her mother flee violence in El Salvador, only to be separated at the U.S. border due to new immigration policies. Anita finds solace in a magical imaginary world called Azabahar as she navigates the challenges of detention. Allende masterfully explores themes of family separation, the enduring impact of war and migration, and the indomitable spirit of children in the face of adversity. This novel serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices parents make and the resilience of children who, despite unimaginable hardships, continue to dream and hope.
