Read by Dennis Boutsikaris, Jasmine Cephas Jones & Alma Cuervo."Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel about three very different people who are brought together in a mesmerizing story that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil. In the Midst of Winter begins with a minor traffic accident--which becomes the catalyst for an unexpected and moving love story between two people who thought they were deep into the winter of their lives. Richard Bowmaster--a 60-year-old human rights scholar--hits the car of Evelyn Ortega--a young, undocumented immigrant from Guatemala--in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn. What at first seems just a small inconvenience takes an unforeseen and far more serious turn when Evelyn turns up at the professor's house seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant Lucia Maraz--a 62-year-old lecturer from Chile--for her advice. These three very different people are brought together in a mesmerizing story that moves from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil, sparking the beginning of a long overdue love story between Richard and Lucia. Exploring the timely issues of human rights and the plight of immigrants and refugees, the book recalls Allende's landmark novel The House of the Spirits in the way it embraces the cause of "humanity, and it does so with passion, humor, and wisdom that transcend politics" (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post). In the Midst of Winter will stay with you long after you turn the final page"--- Subjects: Audiobooks.; Romance fiction.; College teachers; Women college teachers; Women illegal aliens; Human rights;

Manny viene de una familia de jardineros, y para él, el mejor jardinero de todos es su papá. Papá siempre sabe lo que las plantas necesitan.

Papá confía en él para cuidar a su nueva amiga, y Manny está seguro de estar a la altura del desafío.

Un día de investigación y varios libros lo encaminan de nuevo en poco tiempo.

Ahora Manny puede decir con orgullo que es el más joven de una larga línea de jardineros. = Manny comes from a long line of gardeners, and to him, the greatest gardener of all is his dad.
