Less compelling and more superficial
More clichéd and superficial than previous books that I have read

Return to Allende’s best writing
In this story Allende returns to her, Chile, and through the character and story of Emilia once again gives voice to her profound love of her homeland. Her writing brings Chile’s history to life as she tells the story of Emilia’s past and participation in huge events that shape the modern country from its colonial past. Masterful writing as Allende storytelling at its best

Allende at her best. This is a phenomenal novel brimming with gorgeously rich characters and an arcing historical story that kept me enthralled throughout. Beautifully ended.
