Overview
āBoth stories are rich enough to carry the weight of one novel, but Allende expertly intertwines them.āāThe Washington Post
Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnachtāthe night his family loses everything. As her childās safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuelās mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin.
Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita DĆaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena DurĆ”n, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anitaās mother.
Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangersāand never stop dreaming.
