Add to basketHardcover. Una historia de violencia, amor, desarraigo y esperanzaViena, 1938. Samuel Adler es un nino judio de seis anos cuyo padre desaparece durante la Noche de los Cristales Rotos, en la que su familia lo pierde todo. Su madre, desesperada, le consigue una plaza en un tren que le llevara desde la Austria nazi hasta Inglaterra. Samuel emprende una nueva etapa con su fiel violin y con el peso de la soledad y la incertidumbre, que lo acompanaran siempre en su dilatada vida. Arizona, 2019. Ocho decadas mas tarde, Anita Diaz, de siete anos, sube con su madre a bordo de otro tren para escapar de un inminente peligro en El Salvador y exiliarse en Estados Unidos. Su llegada coincide con una nueva e implacable politica gubernamental que la separa de su madre en la frontera. Sola y asustada, lejos de todo lo que le es familiar, Anita se refugia en Azabahar, el mundo magico que solo existe en su imaginacion. Mientras tanto, Selena Duran, una joven trabajadora social, y Frank Angileri, un exitoso abogado, luchan por reunir a la nina con su madre y por ofrecerle un futuro mejor. En El viento conoce mi nombre pasado y presente se entrelazan para relatar el drama del desarraigo y la redencion de la solidaridad, la compasion y el amor. Una novela actual sobre los sacrificios que a veces los padres deben hacer por sus hijos, sobre la sorprendente capacidad de algunos ninos para sobrevivir a la violencia sin dejar de sonar, y sobre la tenacidad de la esperanza, que puede brillar incluso en los momentos mas oscuros.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis powerful and moving novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea and Violeta weaves together past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019.

As her childs safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuels mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England.

Eight decades later, Anita Diaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States.
