Starred Review. Only months after the inauguration of Chile's first female president, Allende recounts in her usual sweeping style the grand tale of Doña Inés Suárez (1507? 1580), arguably the country's founding mother. Writing in the year of her death, Inés tells of her modest girlhood in Spain and traveling to the New World as a young wife to find her missing husband, Juan. Upon learning of Juan's humiliating death in battle, Inés determines to stay in the fledgling colony of Peru, where she falls fervently in love with Don Pedro de Valdivia, loyal field marshal of Francisco Pizarro. The two lovers aim to found a new society based on Christian and egalitarian principles that Valdivia later finds hard to reconcile with his personal desire for glory. Inés proves herself not only a capable helpmate and a worthy cofounder of a nation, but also a ferocious fighter who both captivates and frightens her fellow settlers. Inés narrates with a clear eye and a sensitivity to native peoples that rarely lapses into anachronistic political correctness. Basing the tale on documented events of her heroine's life, Allende crafts a swift, thrilling epic, packed with fierce battles and passionate romance.
"Basada en una investigación meticulosa, esta novela narra la vida de Inés Suárez. Española de una familia pobre, Inés trabaja como costurera. Es el siglo dieciséis, y la conquista de América está apenas comenzando. Cuando un día el esposo de Inés desaparece rumbo al Nuevo Mundo, ella parte en busca de él, escapando de su vida claustrofóbica. En Perú, Inés se entera de que su esposo murió en una batalla, y muy pronto empieza una apasionada relación amorosa con Pedro de Validivia, mariscal de Francisco Pizarro. Valdivia sueña con triunfar donde otros españoles han fracasado, en la conquista de Chile. Aunque se dice que en aquellas tierras no hay oro y que los guerreros son feroces, esto inspira a Valdivia aun más ya que lo que busca es el honor y la gloria. Juntos, los dos amantes fundarán la ciudad de Santiago y librarán una guerra sangrienta contra los indígenas chilenos.--Desde la descripción de la editorial."
"Based on meticulous research, this novel tells the life story of Inés Suárez. It is the sixteenth century, and the conquest of America has just begun. Inés is a poor seamstress in Spain. When her husband disappears for the New World, she sets out in search of him, escaping her claustrophobic life. In Peru, she learns that her husband is dead, but quickly begins a love affair with Pedro de Validivia, Francisco Pizarro's marshal. Valdivia dreams of succeeding where others have failed--in the conquest of Chile. Although it is said that there is no gold there and that the warriors are fierce, this only inspires Valdivia more, since he seeks glory rather than riches. Together, the lovers will found the city of Santiago and wage bloody war against the Chilean natives.--From publisher description."

"Le destin aventureux d'Inés Suarez. Au XVIe siècle, la jeune femme quitte l'Espagne pour le Nouveau Monde afin de retrouver son mari. Ayant appris sa mort au Pérou, elle rejoint les troupes de conquistadores en route vers le Chili. Elle s'éprend de leur chef, l'ambitieux Pedro de Valdivia, qui meurt au combat. Mais au côté de Rodrigo Quiroga, le bras droit de Valdivia, elle fonde Santiago."
"Esta novela está basada en la vida de Inés Suárez, una mujer extremeña cuyo esposo, Juan de Málaga, viaja al Nuevo Mundo en el s. XVI en busca de El Dorado. Años después ella decide ir en su búsqueda. Cuando recibe la noticia de que su esposo ha fallecido, se une al grupo de conquistadores que pretenden llegar a Chile. La fuerza de Inés le ayuda a sobrevivir ante todo tipo de percances: el viaje en barco, su llegada a Perú y cómo sale airosa de todas las situaciones gracias a sus habilidades femeninas mezcladas con un espíritu masculino. La parte más épica es la que se centra en el instinto de superviviencia cuando se lleva a cabo la travesía hasta Chile y cómo tienen que reaccionar frente al ataque de los indios mapuche, y la parte más amable es una espectacular historia de amor que tiene como protagonista a Pedro de Valdivia: un hombre ambicioso al que Inés consigue dominar y compartir con él la aventura de la conquista de Chile. La intuición femenina les ayuda a superar muchos percances y el amor entre ambos es tan potente que es inimaginable pensar en una separación. Las aspiraciones políticas de Pedro potenciarán la ruptura entre ambos pero la huella que dejará el conquistador en esta mujer fuerte y valiente perdurará hasta el resto de sus días. Los indios nunca llegan a aceptar que los conquistadores españoles se afinquen en sus tierras. Atacan y saquean Santiago y hay que comenzar de nuevo. Inés no se da por vencida y junto a Rodrigo de Quiroga, que ha sido hombre de confianza de Pedro de Valdivia reconstruyen la ciudad. Nace entre ellos una relación distinta, un amor adulto, que no se puede comparar a la relación de complicidad que había existido entre Inés y Pedro, pero que se traduce en estabilidad y confianza. Inés nunca ha tenido hijos y la hija de Rodrigo será su confidente cuando llega a la vejez."@es
