About this listen
**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
The captivating new novel from the multi-million-bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and The Japanese Lover. Now the New York Times bestseller.
New York Times bestseller Isabel Allende returns with a beautifully crafted, multi-generational novel of struggle, endurance and friendship against the odds.
Amid the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory, an unexpected friendship blossoms between three people thrown together by circumstance. Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his sixties, hits the car driven by Evelyn Ortega, a young, undocumented migrant from Guatemala. But what at first seems an inconvenience takes an unforeseen and darker turn when Evelyn comes to him and his neighbour Lucia Maraz, desperately seeking help.
Sweeping from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala to turbulent 1970s Chile and Brazil, and woven with Isabel Allende's trademark humanity, passion and storytelling verve, In the Midst of Winter is a mesmerizing and unforgettable tale read for you by Dennis Boutsikaris, Alma Cuervo and Jasmine Cephas Jones.

Loved it
Refreshing, moving, heartbreaking, a bit of adventure and fun. Luciana is a great non-stereotypical female protagonist. Im now going to listen to everything I can by this author.

Great Twist and Insightful
Really great twist of how these 3 characters come together. I enjoyed their own individual stories. I was grateful for the insight into Guatemala and Mexican culture. Something you never really hear about. Most of it being sad, horrific and traumatic. Thank you Isabel for bringing some their hardships to life!
The only downside was the Narration I thought Richards voice was dreary and hard to listen too. My favourite voice was Evelyns. Just personal preference though! :)

Uninspired by this story.
I found this novel rather tedious. Persisted in listening to the end but didn’t enjoy it. Characters lacked authenticity. Prefer narration in one voice

Tender and informative book
Isabelle Allende is one of my favourite writers. She is a master in mixing love stories with historical events. Every time I read one of her books I learn more about south American history that put me in touch with a reality that I could never imagined! This book describes very well the pain and sorrow that the protagonists go through, yet, they find the light at the end of the tunnel. Love, hope , acceptance: the cure for everything.

A bit boring
Just following up a recommendation, found it pretty dull. Maybe it wasn’t my type of book but there wasn’t anything brilliant about it.
