Well, I have read my first book by Isabel Allende. This is still the worst book I’ve read in 2022. The writing made it hard to connect to any of the characters especially Violeta. I should had stopped reading this book 60 pages in and still the main character and not liking the story.

One star for the cover art and half a star for Torito.

Este libro es una obra de arte. Me llevó a lugares desconocidos, a mi juventud, al futuro. Creo que este es uno de esos libros que se van a quedar conmigo para siempre.
