New York Times and worldwide bestselling â€œdazzling storytellerâ€ (Associated Press) Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel about three very different people who are brought together in a mesmerizing story that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil.

In the Midst of Winter begins with a minor traffic accidentâ€”which becomes the catalyst for an unexpected and moving love story between two people who thought they were deep into the winter of their lives. Richard Bowmasterâ€”a 60-year-old human rights scholarâ€”hits the car of Evelyn Ortegaâ€”a young, undocumented immigrant from Guatemalaâ€”in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn. What at first seems just a small inconvenience takes an unforeseen and far more serious turn when Evelyn turns up at the professorâ€™s house seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant Lucia Marazâ€”a 62-year-old lecturer from Chileâ€”for her advice. These three very different people are brought together in a mesmerizing story that moves from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil, sparking the beginning of a long overdue love story between Richard and Lucia.

Exploring the timely issues of human rights and the plight of immigrants and refugees, the book recalls Allendeâ€™s landmark novel The House of the Spirits in the way it embraces the cause of â€œhumanity, and it does so with passion, humor, and wisdom that transcend politicsâ€ (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post). In the Midst of Winter will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
