“The Wind Knows My Name” is Isabel Allende’s latest novel. It intertwines past and present as it tells the tale of two unforgettable characters – one, a child in Europe in 1938 and the other, a child in the U.S. in 1919. Both are in search of family and home. It is a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers – and never stop dreaming. This book is also available on CD and digitally in Libby.
