2.75

While I appreciated this tale of a female reporter carving her way in the world and even becoming a war correspondent, this wasn’t my favorite Isabel Allende novel. I was missing some of the emotional pull as well as further exploration about her own grappling with her career. There was, however, beautiful portrayals of her returning “home” as well as the tension between both sides of the Chilean civil war. I appreciated a fictional exploration of something I knew little about prior.

Isabel Allende writes with such raw emotion and earnestness, I am always in awe. This book was no exception, I loved it and have recommended it to others already.
