About this book
E-Book Extra: Afterword by Patricia Gaffney: "A Woman Is Her Mother"Newly widowed, Carrie is overwhelmed by the guilt of knowing her marriage died long before her husband's fatal heart attack. Struggling to go on for the sake of her teenaged daughter, Ruth, and her overly possessive mother, Dana, Carrie slowly emerges from the sorrow that has embraced her and begins to pull her life together, with help from an unexpected source. Jess, Carrie's first love, re-enters her world and offers her the lifeline that will help her pull herself out of the drowning place she's been in.Inspired with new purpose, and a passion she thought she'd never have again, Carrie must find a way to weave her new life -- and love -- into a family struggling with their own pain and disappointment, who find her newfound happiness a threat to their own precarious balance.Wise, moving, and heartbreakingly real, Circle of Three offers women a deeper understanding of one another, of themselves, and of the perplexing and invigorating magic that is life itself.

De amor y de sombra
Isabel Allende
En palabras de la propia Isabel Allende, *De amor y de sombra* «es la historia de una mujer y un hombre que se amaron en plenitud, salvándose así de una historia vulgar. La he llevado en la memoria cuidándola para que el tiempo no la desgaste, y es sólo ahora cuando puedo finalmente contarla. Lo haré por ellos y por otros que me confiaron sus vidas para que no las borre el viento...». Escrita durante su exilio en Venezuela, el amor entre Irene y Francisco es un alegato apasionado a favor de la fe en la libertad y la dignidad humanas. Fue el segundo gran éxito de Allende después de *La casa de los espíritus.*
