After her mother dies in childbirth, Aurora Del Valle is raised by her grandmother, the matriarch of one of the richest families in nineteenth-century San Francisco, its fortune made from the silver mines of Chile. But despite growing up in such a rich and privileged environment, Aurora is unhappy – haunted by the terrible nightmares which torment her sleep and by the inexplicable absence of many of her childhood memories.
Bringing together characters from 'The House of the Spirits' and 'Daughter of Fortune', 'Portrait in Sepia' confirms Isabel Allende as one of the finest and most entertaining novelists writing today.
