|  | Retrato en Sepia by Isabel Allende
Narrada en la voz de una joven mujer, ?sta es una magn?fica novela hist?rica situada a finales del siglo XIX en Chile, y una portentosa saga familiar en la que reencontramos algunos personajes de Hija de la fortuna y de La casa de los espiritus, novelas cumbres en la obra de Isabel Allende. El tema principal es la memoria y los secretos de familia. La protagonista, Aurora del Valle, sufre un trauma brutal que determina su car?cter y borra de su mente los primeros cinco a?os de su vida. Criada por su ambiciosa abuela, Paulina del Valle, crece en un ambiente privilegiado, libre de muchas de las limitaciones que oprimen a las mujeres de su ?poca, pero atormentada por horribles pesadillas. Cuando debe afrontar la traici?n del hombre que ama y la soledad, decide explorar el misterio de su pasado. Una obra de extraordinaria dimensi?n humana que eleva la narrativa de la autora a cotas de perfecci?n literaria. AUTHOR: Isabel Allende
