Summary
Isabel Allende: Maya's Notebook
Maja's Notebook is a powerful and emotional novel by the famous Chilean writer Isabel Allende, in which a personal confession, a thriller, a family drama and reflection on identity and belonging are interwoven.
Maja, a young girl from a dysfunctional family, flees from a dark past marked by drugs, violence and loss, and finds refuge on a remote island Chiloé, in Chile. There, in silence and isolation, he begins to record his story - a story of fall, escape and the possibility of healing.
Allende skilfully combines the intimate and the social, a personal tragedy with a political background, creating a novel that is simultaneously tense, touching and deeply human.
