Hugo House is delighted to host our friends The Bushwick Book Club Seattle as they present: Original Music Inspired by Isabel Allende’s Violeta.
What would it be like to have your life marked by not one but two pandemics? Meet Violeta, born in 1920 near the end of the Spanish flu’s rampage, who will live through the extraordinary march of history leading to the coronavirus pandemic. Told through letters, Violeta is a family epic from a master of the form.
