About this listen

Las mejores novelas contemporáneas para escuchar.

La historia de amor entre la joven Alma Velasco y el jardinero japonés Ichimei conduce al lector por un recorrido a través de diversos escenarios que van desde la Polonia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta el San Francisco de nuestros días.

«A los veintidós años, sospechando que tenían el tiempo contado, Ichimei y Alma se atragantaron de amor para consumirlo entero, pero mientras más intentaban agotarlo, más imprudente era el deseo, y quien diga que todo fuego se apaga solo tarde o temprano, se equivoca: hay pasiones que son incendios hasta que las ahoga el destino de un zarpazo y aun así quedan brasas calientes listas para arder apenas se les da oxígeno.»

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

A bit all over the place at first but please stick with it, as story unravels it's totally worth it. As per usual, Isabel Allende gives us precious history lessons and I was surprised at the turmoil the Japanese suffered within the US after bombing of Pearl Harbour. Why hasn't anyone made this into a movie?

It's worth it
