Isabel Allende: The Wind Knows My Name

with Alicia Menendez

Jun 6, 2023


The most vivid image of his past was that last desperate embrace. That was the day his childhood ended.

Join New York Times-bestselling author Isabel Allende (A Long Petal of the Sea, The House of the Spirits) for a reading from and discussion of her new novel, The Wind Knows My Name, which weaves together past and present to trace the effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019.

Interviewing Allende onstage is Alicia Menendez, MSNBC Anchor and Latina to Latina Podcast Host.

“Allende reminds us to believe in words, words of love and witness,” wrote Luis Alberto Urrea. “She speaks of human hope, survival, connection, wonder, tragedy, and joy against all odds.”
