‘Allende is a master storyteller at the peak of her powers’ Los Angeles Times
It is 1538 in Spain, and Inés’ shiftless husband left her years ago.
He had travelled to Chile to be a part of the new colonies; he didn’t expect that Inés would be bold enough to follow him. Determined to leave her stifling homeland behind, Inés sets out on a journey to the New World.
Soon after arriving on the shores of this new land, she discovers that her husband has, once again, slipped out of reach. But before long she meets Pedro de Valdivia – war hero and field marshal to conquistador Francisco Pizarro – and finds a love that not only changes her life, but also the course of history.
Based on historical events, Inés of My Soul is an epic tale of how one woman’s determination and passion shaped the future of a country.
