A Long Petal of the Sea takes its place in the unparalleled canon she has created, exploring the sacrifices we make for the sake of those we love, and the love we sacrifice for the sake of our families." - Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things "Allende marries the fictional and the historical in lush, sprawling epics. "Allende tends to describe emotions and events rather than delve into them, and she paints the historical backdrop in very broad strokes, but she is an engaging storyteller.A trifle facile, but this decades-spanning drama is readable and engrossing throughout." - Kirkus Reviews "A tale that is seductively intimate and strategically charming.a virtuoso of lucidly well-told, utterly enrapturing fiction.Allende deftly addresses war, displacement, violence, and loss in a novel of survival and love under siege." - Booklist (starred review) "Allende's assured prose vividly evokes her fictional characters, historical figures like Neruda, and decades of complex international history her imagery makes the suffering of war and displacement palpable yet also does justice to human strength, hope and rebirth.the novel feels both timeless and perfectly timed for today." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
