This is a long book. At times I had difficulty maintaining attention, but I think overall it was worth it. It was definitely outside my personal or familiar experience, and I feel I’m better for reading it.
Narrators were excellent.
This was part of the StoryGraph read around the world challenge.

El pasado y el futuro eran parte de la misma cosa y la realidad del presente era un caleidoscopio de espejos desordenados, donde todo podía ocurrir.
No se qué escribir sobre este libro que nadie haya escrito antes, ni idea de cómo afrontar un libro de esta magnitud. Creo que empezaré por decir que ahora que lo leí entiendo perfectamente por qué es un clásico de la literatura latinoamericana. Este es un libro desgarrador, informativo, cercano, que todavía es relevante en este siglo.
Isabel Allende nos da un paseo por tres generaciones de una familia al mismo tiempo que nos muestra cómo se llega a una dictadura. Es rudo, es un libro que trata temas sensibles y pesados. En esta narración hay una aproximación a asuntos como la justicia, la desigualdad social, el machismo, el paternalismo político, la violencia, etc. La autora no se cohibió, plasmó claramente todo lo que había sentido y observado. Es un libro que necesita ser degustado y digerido, requiere múltiples lecturas.
Hubo cosas que no me gustaron. Uno de los puntos de vista es increíblemente violento y repugnante, y aunque entiendo el por qué de su existencia se me hizo pesado vivir en la mente de este personaje. Otra crítica de mi parte es que los párrafos son gigantes y no hay espacio para tomar un descanso, recomiendo bastante el audiolibro, me agradaron mucho los narradores y me pareció que es la mejor manera de consumir esta historia. En general lo disfruté más de lo que pensé.
