New York Times Bestseller

Worldwide bestselling “dazzling storyteller” (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 accident—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 Bowmaster—a 60-year-old human rights scholar—hits the car of Evelyn Ortega—a young, undocumented immigrant from Guatemala—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 professor’s house seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant Lucia Maraz—a 62-year-old lecturer from Chile—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 Allende’s landmark novel The House of the Spirits in the way it embraces the cause of “humanity, and it does so with passion, humor, and wisdom that transcend politics” (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post). In the Midst of Winter will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

Description du produit

Revue de presse

"A timely message about immigration and the meaning of home.", People

"It’s when revealing the characters’ harrowing past lives in other countries that the generous and unflagging energy that characterized Allende’s debut, The House of the Spirits, can most clearly be felt.", San Francisco Chronicle

“[In the Midst of Winter] forthrightly embraces both harsh realities and whimsy, pleasure and pain in this buoyant adventure, a heartfelt story of resilience and respect that seems just the thing to help us through these darkest of days in our land of exiles.”, The Seattle Times

"Allende uses imagination to help readers gain a better understanding of what the immigrant experience is really like for many people in this country.", Chicago Reader

"Devotees of Allende’s forays into magical realism (The House of Spirits, The Stories of Eva Luna) will find the universe she creates here—an account of earthly lives lived in an earthly setting—more madcap and macabre.", Newsday

"A syntactically beautiful story with the twists and turns of a telenovela and warmth at its center.", Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Allende's latest tale is heartfelt and raw... The interactions between the characters is well thought out and deep. Readers will come to love them and experience the heartbreak and joy both of their past, present, and future."
, RT Book Reviews

"The lesson is clear in both book and life—passion is possible. So is survival and change and making a difference in the world, in Isabel Allende’s grand and inimitable style.", The New Orleans Advocate

"Isabel Allende brings her poetic and compassionate eye to In the Midst of Winter, [which] is being compared with her masterpiece The House of the Spirits."
, CBS' WATCH! Magazine

"Isabel Allende’s masterful blend of history, suspense, and rising passion makes for yet another riveting novel.", BBC America

Disappointing pot-boiler

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 30 mars 2018

Achat vérifié

Well I seem to be out of step with every other reviewer!
I have enjoyed most of Allende's books ( notable exception "Of Love and Shadows") but this one smacked of a hastily written pot-boiler.
The Guatemala and Chile back stories are cliché ridden and peopled with stereotypes - the mystical grandmother, the rebel priest.
One of the rules of writing is SHOW don't TELL. Allende does far too much telling and her writing rarely rises above the banal. Add to this the fact that the plot itself is improbable and the 'twist' at the end is obvious well before the last chapter.
Disappointing in the extreme.

A lovely read about ordinary people

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 19 novembre 2020

Achat vérifié

During a heavy snowstorm in New York City, reclusive Professor, Richard Bowmaster, crosses paths with Evelyn Ortega, an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala. Unexpected circumstances lead Richard to seek help from his neighbour, Lucia and the three embark on a journey that shapes their present and awakens ghosts from the past.

In The Midst of Winter was my first Isabel Allende book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Allende is a wonderful story teller and her style of writing really draws you in. Lucia was a wonderful character full of heart and humour which was a nice contrast to serious Richard. It is also a fascinating insight into South America, particularly Chile, Brazil and Guatemala. My knowledge of each country was limited but Allende has ignited my interest and I hope to read more about them. A lovely read about ordinary people.

A beautifully written tale of tragedy and redemption

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 15 janvier 2021

Achat vérifié

In Brooklyn during the worst snowstorm in living memory, Lucia Maras, her boss at NY University, Richard Bowmaster, and Evelyn, a young undocumented migrant from Guatemala, are thrown together by the discovery of a crime, setting off a chain of events that will alter all of their lives. The premise the plot is based on is on the improbable side, but the way Allende writes and the warmth and insight with which she portrays her characters, all of whom have suffered tragedy, outweighed any reservations I might have had about that. I found the historical background interesting and the account of Evelyn’s journey from Guatemala very moving. There were numerous lovely passages of writing that I wanted to linger on.

An unconvincing plot.

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 4 juin 2018

Achat vérifié

This book started out with so much promise and I thought I was in for a real treat, but sadly the plot became quite far-fetched and lost its way. The story revolves around three characters, Richard, landlord and friend of Lucia, who is also his tennant, and Evelyn, a stranger who Richard crashes into with his car. All three find themselves together during a winter storm and retell the tragic stories of their past. These were the best parts of the story, quite heartbreaking at times, but spoilt by the unconvincing plot concerning Evelyn's current situation. I ploughed on to finish it, but could quite honestly have left this on my unfinished shelf and not been at all concerned.

A beautifully written and hopeful novel

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 28 février 2019

Achat vérifié

I thought this was a really beautiful novel. The characters felt well rounded and the three leads developed in satisfying ways as the book unfolds. In some ways this novel almost felt like a fable or fairy tale as three people are thrown together in a snow storm and two go to extreme lengths to help the third. I think the extreme weather, which cuts the characters off from the rest of the world, gave the novel this slightly magical feeling. Allende writes beautifully, this is only the second of her books I've read, but I'll definitely be reading more of them. She writes about the brutal events in the pasts of the two female leads, Evelyn and Lucia (in Chile and Guatemala respectively), in a way that feels truthful and real, without being exploitative of the pain of real people who may have gone through very similar experiences. I didn't find the sections dealing with Richard's past as engaging, as he had a more selfish past, but these sections were still interesting. This story had an incredibly hopeful feel to it, and a much happier ending than I was expecting, considering much of the pain and hardship all three characters experienced, which was very lovely. I purchased this as an audio book, as well as a kindle edition, and read some parts, and listened to others. The audio book was read very well.
