Chegou um ponto que eu cansei e não estava mais prestando atenção, tento que demorei mais de 1 mês pra ler e ele é bem curtinho…

Honestly I really struggled to read this book, mostly found it required more brain power than I had capacity to give it. Felt like a slog reading it, and I was making very little progress
Great choice for book club because there was genuinely so much to discuss.

A strange, scattered tale which felt much longer than it was. At times very bizarre, at others a bit of a slog. The prose was beautiful and it’s set in an interesting part of history but ultimately I struggled to get through it. The last couple chapters… girl wrap it up

Like all Allende’s books I’ve read, Eva Luna is a winding tale starting with her mother, as a baby with blazing red hair, crawling out of a Latin American jungle knowing nothing of her parents. Eva’s own story is full of unique characters and loves, including her mother’s unusual father figure, multiple mother-like guardians, a revolutionary, a colorful transsexual, a child survivor of WWII, and more in a world coming undone in a dictatorship.
