 y Isabel Allende</p>\n<p>In the late 1930s\, civil war grips Spain. When G
 eneral Franco and his Fascists succeed in overthrowing the government\, hu
 ndreds of thousands are forced to flee in a treacherous journey over the m
 ountains to the French border. Among them is Roser\, a pregnant young wido
 w\, who finds her life intertwined with that of Victor Dalmau\, an army do
 ctor and the brother of her deceased love. In order to survive\, the two m
 ust unite in a marriage neither of them desires.</p>\n<p>Together with two
  thousand other refugees\, they embark on the SS Winnipeg\, a ship charter
 ed by the poet Pablo Neruda\, to Chile: &ldquo\;the long petal of sea and 
 wine and snow.&rdquo\; As unlikely partners\, they embrace exile as the re
 st of Europe erupts in world war. Starting over on a new continent\, their
  trials are just beginning\, and over the course of their lives\, they wil
 l face trial after trial. But they will also find joy as they patiently aw
 ait the day when they will be exiles no more. Through it all\, their hope 
 of returning to Spain keeps them going. Destined to witness the battle bet
 ween freedom and repression as it plays out across the world\, Roser and V
 ictor will find that home might have been closer than they thought all alo
 ng.</p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><a href="https://catalog.clcohio.
