Daughter of Fortune

Daughter of fortune

She is the daughter of a woman who found passionate
love in Paris with an opera singer; now lives in her brother’s
house and knows, in the end, life is about a haven of romance
is going to last to the end of life.

The daughter loves a man of modest means; her love is boundless
he feels he has to find riches to be worthy of her love.
When she hears, her beau has gone to Klondike, she sets sail
to join him there, so her adventure begins.

I’m reading a novel by Isabel Allende, a book about a woman’s life, 
what a woman does, how a woman feels about love, more profound
than men perceive, who, in this novel, appear in the background.
Of men, who are fierce, yet, loving but need a woman’s care.

Clarification
I don’t know how the novel ends as I have only read half
the book; but it is not a Barbara Cartland trivia, where the secretary
of an estate agent, falls in love with the dentist who has his
practice on the second floor; it is a proper love story.
