Amazon.com description: Product Description:

Eliza Sommers es una joven chilena que vive en Valparaiso en 1849, el ano que se descubre oro en California.

Su amante, Joaquin Andieta, parte hacia el norte decidido a encontrar fortuna, y ella decide seguirlo. El viaje infernal, escondida en la cala de un velero, y la busqueda de su amante en una tierra de hombres solos y prostitutas atraidos por la fiebre del oro, transforman a la joven inocente en una mujer fuera de lo comun. Eliza recibe ayuda y afecto de Tao Chi'en, un medico chino, quien la conducira de la mano en un itinerario memorable por los misterios y contradicciones de la condicion humana.

Hija de la fortuna es un retrato papitante de una epoca marcada por la violencia y la codicia en la cual los protagonistas rescatan el amor, la amistad, la compasion y el valor. En esta su mas ambiciosa novel, Isabel Allende presenta un universo fascinante, poblado de entranables personajes que, como tantos otros de la autora, se quedan para siempre en la memoria y el corazon de los lectores.
