Now that I'm finished with the book, I actually miss the characters :( Not necessarily that I wish there was a sequel...just miss them as people :) That's a magical book for sure. <br />Enjoyed your review!Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-51205333492024728332013-05-09T16:26:56.412-04:002013-05-09T16:26:56.412-04:00Wow, that's so interesting that this book is s...Wow, that's so interesting that this book is so personal for her!

My mother has all of them (in Spanish, of course), including this one, so perhaps I would give it a try, since the plot is soooo different to the others.<br />Glad you like it!Isihttp://fromisiblog.articulo19.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-55779551574613712922013-05-08T13:41:50.696-04:002013-05-08T13:41:50.696-04:00I honestly don't think I've heard of Isabe...I honestly don't think I've heard of Isabelle Allende before this book, but the way you talk about her writing is definitely my type of book. I've been intrigued every time I see this book somewhere and I just want to grab it. I think that telling a story by flipping between past and present is always interesting, it keeps me coming back to the book to learn more.

Her writing is so nuanced and deep. I couldn't finish Daughter of Fortune when I read it in 2008 because I felt like the story wasn't moving fast enough for me, however, I am one to often give books I have read another chance. Allende is one of those whom I want to try again. Perhaps I will give this one a try as well. It might make me an Allende convert. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.com
