The author of ‘The House of the Spirits’ returns with a gritty yet transcendent tale of teenage addiction.
Abandoned by her parents as a baby, Maya has been brought up by her tough grandmother Nini and her gentle grandfather Popo. But at school, the teenage Maya finds herself drawn towards the wrong crowd. Before she knows what’s happened, Maya’s life has turned into one of drug addiction and crime.
Things go from bad to worse as Maya disappears into the criminal underworld. To save her from her old associates, Nini sends Maya to a remote island off the coast of Chile.
Safe amongst her new neighbours, Maya feels compelled to write her story and slowly she begins to heal. But can she learn to live with her scars, and will her past ever catch up with her?

Recensione:
L'autore:
‘Another impressive feat with a dazzling cast and bold array of landscapes, woven together with the storytelling prowess that is Allende’s trademark.’ Daily Telegraph, 4 stars
‘Isabel Allende is a mistress storyteller... [her] capacity to surprise keeps her readers page-turning, as do her descriptions of character and place’ Independent
‘Maya is the lightest of narrative guises: wise beyond her 19 years but convincingly coltish.’ Guardian
‘An exciting read, well paced.’ Daily Express
Born in Peru and raised in Chile, Isabel Allende is the author of eighteen books, including ‘Inès of My Soul’, ‘Daughter of Fortune’, and ‘Portrait in Sepia’.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The author of The House of the Spirits returns with a gritty yet transcendent tale of teenage addiction. The narrator and protagonist of Mayas Notebook is a 19-year-old girl who grows up in Berkeley, California, and falls into a life of drug addiction and crime. To rescue Maya, and save her from the criminal types pursuing her, Maya's Chilean grandmother sends her to a remote island off the southern coast of Chile. Here she lives among a traditional rural people, the Chilote, who speak an older form of Spanish and have remained largely isolated from the materialism, crime, and fast-paced contemporary life which is our own. The book alternates between the narrative in the US and that on Chiloe, the island, so the two strands of the story unfold for the reader at more or less the same time.This new book is very different from Isabel's previous historical novels: a contemporary setting; an American (of Latino descent) teenage drug addict as the protagonist and narrating voice; a realistic style of writing rather than a magical realistic one (Chiloe exists, and one can visit it). Maya's voice is modeled on that of Isabel's teenage granddaughter, a native of the Bay area (San Francisco, Berkeley). The author of The House of the Spirits returns with a gritty yet transcendent tale of teenage addiction.
