Description
"Violeta viene al mundo un tormentoso d?a de 1920, siendo la primera ni?a de una familia de cinco bulliciosos hermanos. Desde el principio su vida estar? marcada por acontecimientos extraordinarios, pues todav?a se sienten las ondas expansivas de la Gran Guerra cuando la gripe espa?ola llega a las orillas de su pa?s sudamericano natal, casi en el momento exacto de su nacimiento. Gracias a la clarividencia del padre, la familia saldr? indemne de esta crisis para darse de bruces con una nueva, cuando la Gran Depresi?n altera la elegante vida urbana que Violeta ha conocido hasta ahora. Su familia lo perder? todo y se ver? obligada a retirarse a una regi?n salvaje y remota del pa?s. All? Violeta alcanzar? la mayor?a de edad y tendr? su primer pretendiente... En una carta dirigida a una persona a la que ama por encima de todas las dem?s, Violeta rememora devastadores desenga?os amorosos y romances apasionados, momentos de pobreza y tambi?n de prosperidad, p?rdidas terribles e inmensas alegr?as. Moldear?n su vida algunos de los grandes sucesos de la historia: la lucha por los derechos de la mujer, el auge y ca?da de tiranos y, en ?ltima instancia, no una, sino dos pandemias" --,Amazon.
Description
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.
