medium-paced

4.5

 The story was captivating, but, can books come with trigger warnings because I wasn't prepared to handle some of the scenes in this book at all.

The book follows many characters and how their loves eventually entwined was well done. Nothing felt forced. The book highlights many social injustices in this would, and as a woman hard to read some of this. But yes, a well written book, but not one for the faint hearted.

La prosa de Allende es simplemente mágica, adoro como me transporta con sus descripciones. Aunque siento que muchos conceptos del libro se quedaron un poco cortos en explicacion y parecieron solo mencionados por no dejar, los comentarios políticos y sociales que hace Allende son precisos y los comparto completamente. Definitivamente era el libro que necesitaba leer para seguir mi investigación de tesis, ya sea en novela o en trabajo de titulación, los temas de los que trata el libro merecen ser documentados y publicados.

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.

Deeply emotional and thought-provoking. Pretty on-the-nose with little space for ambiguity. No thinking of your own required.
