I always like reading historical fiction. This book was a harder read for me than it seems it was for others. I've only ever heard good things about her style, yet I had a hard time staying focused while reading. Maybe it was all the Spanish names.

Anyway, interesting read about the founding of Chile and the native Mapuche tribe.

I love historical fiction, and it doesn't hurt when the book is directed to "Isabel."

Isabel Allende again giving us a great representation of strong empowered women in history. I like the autobiography style of the book and the combination of historical fiction.
