"The Wind Knows My Name": A Captivating Review of Isabel Allende's Latest Book.

Isabel Allende's latest novel, The Wind Knows My Name, tells the story of two child immigrants, a boy who escapes Nazi-occupied Vienna in 1938 and a girl who escapes military gangs in El Salvador in 2019. The narrative follows their migrations to the United States and their eventual meeting. Allende disrupts the mainstream narrative about the southern border and discovers the human capacity for hope and decency in the midst of despair. The story is a love letter to children trapped by geopolitical violence and left to navigate immigration by themselves.
