The Infinite Plan: A Novel"Bestselling author Isabel Allende's new novel, her first to be set in the United States and to portray American characters, is a mesmerizing, poignant saga of one man's search for love and his struggle to come to terms with a childhood of poverty and neglect. As Gregory's story unfolds, we follow his struggle to survive--persecution by the gangs in the barrio, the hooros of the war in Vietnam--and to be successful. A lawyer in San Francisco, Gregory pursues money and possessions, looks for love with the wrong women, abuses alcohot, neglects his children, and loses himself in an illustory and wrongheaded quest. The Infinite Plan transforms one man's story into a powerful tale of loneliness and love, betrayals and hurdles, and defeats that finally lead to acceptance and reconciliation." -- From back cover. |
