Portrait in Sepia A Novel

Set at the end of the nineteenth century in Chile, Portrait in Sepia is a vast family saga that continues the story begun in Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune and precedes the events of The House of the Spirits. The narrative is recounted by Aurora del Valle, a young woman who suffered a brutal trauma that erased all recollection of the first five years of her life. Raised in a privileged environment by her ambitious and commanding grandmother, Paulina del Valle, Aurora grows up free of many social limitations of the era but remains tormented by recurring nightmares. After suffering a devastating betrayal by the man she loves, Aurora decides to explore the mystery of her past, using the art of photography to capture the truth of her heritage and unlock the secrets buried within her family's history.
