Maya's Notebook
Autor Isabel Allendeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2026
Living on Chiloé, a beautiful remote island off the coast of Chile, might sound like paradise. For nineteen-year-old Maya, it's the only way she can stay alive.
Abandoned by her parents as a baby and raised by her grandparents in California, Maya was always a troubled child. But when her beloved grandfather dies, she spirals and runs away to Las Vegas. When she's sucked into the city's drug trade, she is almost lost forever. Found by her grandmother, Maya is sent to Chiloé with two requests: to not contact anyone she once knew, and to reflect on where everything had gone wrong.
Bored by the island's monotony, Maya begins to write down her story; but in Chiloé there are more remnants of her own history than she anticipated. What secrets does the island hold? And can she ever move on from the pain of her past?

Allende can spin a yarn with the grace of a poet
Bruising and cinematically vivid ... Exerts a raw and genuine power

Textul de pe ultima copertă
A startling novel of suspense and resilience from New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende.
Neglected by her parents, nineteen-year-old Maya Vidal grew up in a rambling old house in Berkeley with her grandparents. Her grandmother, Nidia, affectionately known as Nini, is a force of nature—a woman whose formidable strength helped her build a new life after she emigrated from Chile in 1973. Popo, Maya's grandfather, is an African American astronomer and professor—a gentle man whose solid, comforting presence helps calm the turbulence of Maya's adolescence. When Popo dies of cancer, Maya goes completely off the rails. She turns to drugs, alcohol, and petty crime, eventually bottoming out in Las Vegas. Lost in a dangerous underworld, she is caught in the crosshairs of warring forces—a gang of assassins, the police, the FBI, and Interpol. Her one chance for survival is Nini, who helps her escape to a remote island off the coast of Chile. Here, Maya tries to make sense of the past, unravels mysterious truths about life and her family, and embarks on her greatest adventure: the journey into her own soul.
