Violeta

What a captivating tale that weaves you through the trials and tribulations of a well lived life.

Born in the 1920's Violeta Del Valle recounts her life story spanning 100 years in a detailed letter sharing her trauma, romantic encounters, heartbreak, grief, impoverishment, rise to wealth, business acumen, and joy.

Her life also bore witness to vital historical events such as the Spanish Influenza epidemic, WWI, The Great Depression, WWII, the women's rights movement, and political unrest.

Her story is one of passion, bravery, resilience, and perseverance.

I was moved by Violeta's story. Everything she experienced and went through was so impactful. To witness her growth and evolution over her lifetime and watching her transition and come into her own was a beautiful and inspiring process.

This book will definitely inspire you to reflect on your life and search for ways you can evolve into a better version of yourself.


Allende did an amazing job with this story it's truly breathtaking. Violeta comes across as a real three dimensional person. She literally jumps off the page. Looking forward to exploring more of her novels in the future.
