I know it's probably clear: A Long Petal of the Sea is at the top of my favorites list. If you love a story you can fall into, please don’t miss it. No one weaves a story like Isabel Allende.

Pearl of the Sea by Anthony Silverston | Goodreads

Between 30 and 40 people died every day, first of children from dysentery, then the elderly from pneumonia.Don’t be surprised if a random person strikes up a chat with you while waiting in line or riding public transportation. Victor Dalmau is a young doctor, who marries his brother’s widow, Roser, after he was killed in the fight against the forces of Franco. A revolutionary himself, Victor is then forced to flee Spain to France during the Spanish civil war. The marriage, one of convenience, may miss the love and tenderness of romance but the strength and bond between them is mesmerising. Victor and Roser are stoic figures in the fight for survival and begin planning and securing ships that will take refugees and people exiled during these tumultuous times to a safe haven in Chile. On the map Chile looked slender and remote, but years later Neruda was to define it as I enjoyed the story and the character so much. Pearl is a brave, adventurous, and incredibly kind protagonist but she does have her own set of problems. I think there may have been a hint of her not liking boys, which I always like in fiction, especially young adult fiction.

The end of the book is a little sad and bittersweet, but not for the reasons you might think. A LONG PETAL OF THE SEA is a very timely book, because it shows how immigrants and refugees can contribute and add to a country's culture and economy, as well as the inevitability of our mortal ends, and the importance of having a life well-lived, surrounded by family. It's definitely a much better book than THE FOUNTAINS OF SILENCE, another book about fascist Spain that definitely skates over the oppression. In A LONG PETAL OF THE SEA, you feel the stakes-- and they are weighty.Sea Relic Lv. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 unexamined is used to verify the properties in the Pearl Of The Sea feature. The book has many themes. There is love especially between Victor and Roser, there is hope symbolised by The Winnipeg and a new life in Chile, there is a desire to find a place to belong as Victor and Roser’s life journey took them to several countries, there is war and dictatorship, there is bravery and survival. This is a massively ambitious book and tremendous respect goes to the author for daring to tell such a huge story. There are some fantastic descriptions and one of the ones that I will remember is when Victor felt his heart physically break with the reality of the Nationalist victory in Spain and the consequences of that for him and others. The characters real and imaginary are fantastic- I especially love Roser as her optimism in the face of terrible odds is inspirational and Victor is brave, loyal and deeply caring.
