THE POWERFUL AND MOVING NEW NOVEL FROM LITERARY LEGEND ISABEL ALLENDE
PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR 'A grand storyteller' - KHALED HOSSEINI 'A new
novel by Isabel Allende is always a treat' - DAILY MAIL 'What a joy it
must be to come upon Allende for the first time' - COLUM MCCANN No,
we're not lost. The wind knows my name. And yours too. Vienna, 1938.
Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during
Kristallnacht - the night their family loses everything. As her
child's safety seems ever harder to guarantee, Samuel's mother secures
a spot for him on the last Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied
Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of
clothes and his violin. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Diaz
and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El
Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival
coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old
Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her
tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the
imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Duran, a young social worker, enlists
the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita's
mother. Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells
the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of
family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents
make, and a love letter to the children who survive the most
unfathomable dangers - and never stop dreaming.
