Emilia del Valle Walsh nasce a San Francisco nel 1866. Sua madre, Molly Walsh, è una suora irlandese sedotta da un aristocratico cileno.

Eva Luna è una bambina, figlia di diseredati, che viene abbandonata fin da piccola e destinata al mestiere di serva. \"Luna\" perché il padre apparteneva al popolo della luna. Acuta osservatrice, avventurosa con una spiccata personalità, la piccola cresce in un mondo oppresso dalla dittatura e divorato dall'ingiustizia, ma che affronta e trasforma con fantasia e ribellione. Ne nasce un'indimenticabile figura di donna, con una grande capacità affabulatoria, nella tradizione del romanzo picaresco spagnolo, una donna cui l'immaginazione, lo spirito d'iniziativa, insieme a piccoli casi fortunati e a inaspettati gesti di solidarietà, consentono di sopravvivere fino a che la realtà si costruisce a misura del desiderio.

**The remarkable novel from the multi-million-bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and The Japanese Lover**\nMeet the unforgettable Eva Luna: a lover, a writer, a revolutionary and above all, a storyteller. \n\nEva Luna is the daughter of a professor's assistant and a snake-bitten gardener – born poor, orphaned at an early age and working as a servant. Eva is a naturally gifted and imaginative storyteller who meets people from all walks of life. Though she has no wealth, she trades her stories like currency with people who are kind to her. As she shares her stories, she introduces an eccentric cast of characters: the Lebanese émigré who takes her in, her Catholic godmother who believes in saints, a street urchin who grows up to be the leader of the guerrilla struggle, a celebrated trans cabaret star and a young refugee whose flight from postwar Europe will change Eva's life forever. \n  \n As Eva tells her story, Isabel Allende brings to life a complex South American country – the rich, the poor, the sophisticated – in a novel that celebrates the power of imagination and storytelling.\n\nPraise for Isabel Allende’s Eva Luna: \n\n ‘Vibrant, colourful characters; the ordinary fused with the grotesque; a Latin American setting, tropical this time; vivid, elegant narrative. The narrator, Eva Luna, is herself a story-teller in the Allende tradition’ Guardian\n ‘An evident affection for words, compassion for the oppressed and the inarticulate, the daring ambition to draw cross-sections of whole societies . . . Allende's work glows’ New York Times\n ‘Sumptuous . . .  a tale that spans forty years and moves from a surreal jungle to a modern-day urban capital where even the most apolitical are driven to risky anti-government activities’ Chicago Tribune\n ‘Allende rearranges reality with a blend of memories, mysticism and imagination’ The Philadelphia Inquirer\n  ‘A remarkable novel, one in which a cascade of stories tumbled out before the reader, stories vivid and passionate and human’ Washington Post\n ‘Magnificent . . . Allende is a prodigious fabulist, weaving extraordinary tales’ Publishers Weekly

'My name is Eva, which means \"life\", according to a book of names my mother consulted. I was born in the back room of a shadowy house, and grew up amidst ancient furniture, books in Latin, and human mummies, but none of those things made me melancholy, because I came into the world with a breath of the jungle in my memory.'\n\nIsabel Allende tells the sweet and sinister story of an orphan who beguiles the world with her astonishing visions, triumphing over the worst of adversity and bringing light to a dark place.
