Synopsis:
From internationally bestselling author Isabel Allende comes an exquisitely crafted, multigenerational love story.
In 1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis and the world goes to war, young Alma Belasco's parents send her overseas to live with an aunt and uncle in their opulent San Francisco mansion. There she meets Ichimei Fukuda, the son of the family's Japanese gardener, and between them a tender love blossoms, but following Pearl Harbor the two are cruelly pulled apart. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love they are forever forced to hide from the world.
Decades later, Alma is nearing the end of her long and eventful life. Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to reconcile her own troubled past, meets the older woman and her grandson, Seth, at Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge a friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma, and learn about Ichimei and this extraordinary secret passion that has endured for nearly seventy years.

Condition: Muy bueno. : En 1939, mientras Polonia cae bajo la sombra de los nazis y el mundo entra en guerra, los padres de la joven Alma Belasco la envían a vivir a un lugar seguro con una tía y un tío en su opulenta mansión en San Francisco. Allí conoce a Ichimei Fukuda, el hijo del jardinero japonés de la familia, y entre ellos florece un tierno amor. Tras Pearl Harbor, los dos son cruelmente separados cuando Ichimei y su familia, como miles de estadounidenses de origen japonés, son declarados enemigos por el gobierno estadounidense y trasladados a campos de internamiento. A lo largo de sus vidas, Alma e Ichimei se reencuentran una y otra vez, pero el suyo es un amor que se ven obligados a ocultar para siempre al mundo. Décadas más tarde, Alma se acerca al final de su larga y agitada vida. Irina Bazili, una trabajadora social que lucha por asumir su propio pasado turbulento, conoce a la anciana y a su nieto, Seth, en la residencia de ancianos Lark House. A medida que Irina y Seth entablan amistad, se sienten intrigados por una serie de misteriosos regalos y cartas enviados a Alma, y aprenden sobre Ichimei y esta extraordinaria pasión secreta que ha perdurado durante casi setenta años.
