A autora conta uma história que já se encerrou, então ela sabe tudo o que já aconteceu. Por isso, ela dá spoilers dos acontecidos durante o livro (quando alguém vai morrer ou se um casal vai terminar junto...). Eu, particularmente gosto disso e, quando bem feito, não tira o suspense e a curiosidade (e foi muito bem feito).

I can understand why Allende is well loved as an author. Her ability to invoke feelings and passion is evident. She mixes character development with plot that feels deeply rooted in real-life circumstances. I didn't come away feeling particularly warm about any characters. And this novel leaves me feeling even more concerned about how quickly government can degenerate into chaos and totalitarianism. And still, I will look forward to reading other books by Allende in the future.
