    Mod slutningen af Den Spanske Borgerkrig, da general Franco og hans fascister sejrer på alle fronter, bliver to unge mennesker tvunget til at forlade det krigshærgede Barcelona. Gravide Roser og svogeren Victor krydser Pyrenæerne til fods for at komme i sikkerhed. Rosers kæreste og Victors bror, Guillem, er død, og omstændighederne tvinger Roser og Victor til at indgå et ægteskab som ingen af dem ønsker.Fra Frankrig rejser det umage par over havet med skibet Winnipeg, der blev chartret af digteren Pablo Neruda og bragte flere end to tusind spaniere til Chile – ”det lange kronblad af hav og sne” som det kaldes med digterens ord. De starter et nyt liv der byder på mange prøvelser, og det som giver dem modet til at fortsætte, er håbet om en dag at kunne vende tilbage til Spanien. Men da cirklen sluttes, viser det sig at nogle gange er det vanskeligste ikke at flygte, men at vende hjem.Håbets rejsende er en medrivende familie- og kærlighedskrønike – både til dem, der har været Isabel Allende-fans i årtier og til de læsere, som nu får glæde af at møde forfatterens fortællinger for første gang.

Fra begyndelsen tegnes hendes liv af store begivenheder, da den spanske syge rammer hendes hjemlands kyster i Sydamerika, mens familien stadig mærker efterdønningerne af første verdenskrig.Men selvom familien slipper igennem denne krise uden mén, venter der store forandringer, da Den Store Depression rammer og berøver Violetas slægt alt, hvad de ejer. De tvinges til at flytte langt ud på landet til en smuk, men øde egn. Her vokser hun op, og en dag kommer hendes første bejler til familiens hjem.Violeta fortæller sin historie gennem et brev til en, som hun elsker højere end nogen anden. Heri beskriver hun både knuste hjerter og passionerede kærlighedsaffærer, fattigdom og velstand, forfærdelige tab og stor lykke. Kampen for kvinders rettigheder, tyranners storhed og fald, livstruende sygdom, kærlighed og krig – alt sammen er det en del af fortællingen, der udgør Violetas liv.Med Violeta er Isabel Allende tilbage i episk, storslået form.
