Allende has created a masterpiece of historical fiction that is passionate, adventurous, and brilliantly insightful. . . . suspenseful and surprising. --Denver Post
From the revered New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea comes a passionate tale of one young woman's epic journey to save her lover, set against the chaos, greed, and promise of the 1849 California Gold Rush.
Raised in the British colony of ValparaÃso, Chile, English orphan Eliza Sommers meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate JoaquÃn Andieta, a lowly clerk with ambitious dreams. When gold is discovered in the hills of northern California, Chileans, including JoaquÃn, head north to seek their fortune. Eliza, pregnant with JoaquÃn's child, leaves behind everything she knows to follow her lover.
In the rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco, Eliza must navigate a society dominated by greedy men. But with the help of her natural spirit and a good friend, Chinese doctor Tao Chi'en, Eliza soon comes to discover that her search for love has become a powerful coming of age story and a quest of personal freedom.
