«De amor y de sombra» is the novel by Isabel Allende, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback, 281 pages, in Spanish.
In an unnamed Latin American country under a military dictatorship, journalist Irene Beltrán and photographer Francisco Leal investigate the mysterious illness of a young woman and uncover a crime the regime wants to hide. Their relationship becomes a love story that defies official terror and puts them in danger. The novel contrasts the violence of morgues and mass graves with South American landscapes, and interweaves political denunciation with the defense of freedom and human dignity.
It is the author's second novel, written during her exile in Venezuela.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Hispanic American fiction and love stories with a political and historical backdrop.
