3.0

tengo varios conflictos con este libro, tiene muy buena sinopsis y se queda en eso porque la ejecución deja mucho que desear. hay tramas que son explicadas ampliamente que no aportan nada al tema principal, por ejemplo la trama amorosa de 2 de los personajes principales. a samuel se le conoce de frente, uno llega de lleno a su historia al igual que a la de leticia, sin embargo a anita se le presenta como si fuera un expediente más, esto puede ser intencional pero hace que la conexión con ella sea mucho más difícil. quitando a samuel realmente no conecté con ningún personaje, muchas veces se siente como si leyeras un recuento de hechos en algún portal de noticias. y por otro lado los capítulos de anita son insufribles, son los únicos narrados en primera persona y se entienden como un diálogo interno, sin embargo son muy cansados. 
no es un mal libro, puede que solamente no sea para mí.

2.0

Ese libro intentó cubrir demasiado. Aprecié que Samuel y Anita experimentan cosas similares en situaciones y épocas diferentes, pero no sentí el impacto. La mayoría del libro no incluye conversaciones ni los pensamientos de los personajes, solo párrafos largos de información. Siento que nunca llegué a conocer a los personajes más allá de la superficie, y por eso no logré conectar a nivel emocional.

In some ways, a very different kind of story for Allende, and in others, still so clearly her voice writing about the issues important to her through multiple generations. An important story that needed to be told.
