520    "New York Times and 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"--|cProvided by
