Un retrato palpitante de una época marcada por la violencia y la codicia, con entrañables personajes.Eliza Sommers es una joven chilena que vive en Valparaíso en 1849, el año en que se descubre oro en California. Su amante, Joaquín Andieta, parte hacia el norte decidido a encontrar fortuna, y ella decide seguirlo. El viaje infernal, escondida en la cala de un velero, y la búsqueda de su amante en una tierra de hombres solos y prostitutas atraídos por la fiebre del oro, transforman a la joven inocente en una mujer fuera de lo común. Eliza recibe ayuda y afecto de Tao Chi'en, un médico chino, quien la conducirá de la mano en un itinerario memorable por los misterios y contradicciones de la condición humana.
Hija de la fortuna es un retrato palpitante de una época marcada por la violencia y la codicia en la cual los protagonistas rescatan el amor, la amistad, la compasión y el valor. En esta su más ambiciosa novela, Isabel Allende presenta un universo fascinante, poblado de entrañables personajes que, como tantos otros de la autora, se quedan para siempre en la memoria y el corazón de los lectores.
Reseña:
«Isabel Allende se caracteriza por su precisa y poética adjetivación, y el estilo aquí ha sido especialmente cuidado. Deleitará a un público mayoritario.»
Joaquín Marco, El Cultural ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Allende has created a masterpiece of historical fiction that is passionate, adventurous, and brilliantly insightful. . . . suspenseful and surprising."--Denver Post
From the revered New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea comes a passionate tale of one young woman's quest to save her lover, set against the chaos, greed, and promise of the 1849 California Gold Rush. Raised in the British colony of Valparaíso, Chile, English orphan Eliza Sommers meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaquín Andieta, a lowly clerk with ambitious dreams. When gold is discovered in the hills of northern California. Chileans, including Joaquín, head north to seek their fortune. Eliza, pregnant with Joaquín's child, leaves behind everything she knows to follow her lover.
In the rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco, Eliza must navigate a society dominated by greedy men. But with the help of her natural spirit and a good friend, Chinese doctor Tao Chi'en, Eliza soon comes to discover that her search for love has become a quest of personal freedom.

Should be mandatory reading for police academies and be in every cops' patrol bag
This book should be mandatory reading for police academies and be in every cops' patrol bag for quick reference. I am a police officer (8+ years) and stay on top of search and seizure case law as much as possible. This book is easy to read and gets the essential information on everything that has to do with police search and seizure. The topics are easy to find, and all are no more than 1-2 pages. Every sections cites the appropriate case law and offers tips for articulating PC for that type of incident.

Very helpful for law enforcement
Got this book recently and I am very impressed and happy I purchased it. I will keep this review short and to the point. This book covers everything with various searches including, cars, homes, etc. Anyone that works in law enforcement should pick this up as it provides what you can and cannot do, along with example cases. Great guide for any rookie and even vets that need a refresher.

A must have for all officers!
This book is a must-have for ALL officers. I use it constantly as my go-to reference for tricky search issues. My sergeant also has a copy and she reads one of the sections (about 1-2 pages) a few times a week during roll call. I hope that the author comes out with another book just with search warrant template language.

Super informative and relieves some stress over questions that I have
Really informative and will help with a lot of questions that I have and questions that others need answered. Have been taking many blue to gold courses and I’m so intrigued to possibly make this a deep learning process for myself.
